How to Make Kentucky Derby Chocolate Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare one 9-inch deep-dish pie crust, either from scratch or using a store-bought refrigerated crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk attachment on medium speed, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup light corn syrup, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons bourbon until light and frothy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not completely clean.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
