Make this rich, gooey Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for your next gathering. It combines dark chocolate, crunchy pecans, and warm bourbon in a flaky crust, creating a signature holiday dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon
  • 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon until combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped chocolate and pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  6. Pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still slightly jiggly. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cacao).
  • If you prefer less alcohol flavor, reduce the bourbon to 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of water or extra corn syrup.
  • To achieve a flaky crust, keep your pie dough cold until it goes into the oven.
  • Serve this pie slightly warm or at room temperature for the best gooey texture.
