How to Make Chocolate Pecan Pie With Bourbon
- **Make the Crust:** In a food processor, pulse together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until combined. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons of ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Gently transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim the excess dough to 1/2 inch, fold the edge under, and crimp decoratively. Refrigerate until firm.
- **Make the Filling:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread pecan halves on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 8 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup bourbon, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
- Bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 55 minutes, or until the center is set. Tent the crust with foil halfway through baking if the edges brown too quickly.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
