Description
Traditional pecan pie is a favorite in many households but my version takes a step off the traditional by adding a punch of bourbon and the sweetness of chocolate.
Ingredients
- 3 whole Eggs, Slightly Beaten
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Jim Beam Bourbon
- 1 Tablespoon Molasses
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup Ghiardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 whole 9-inch Pie Shell, Chilled Almost Frozen
- 2 cups Pecans, Coarsely Chopped, Plus A Few Whole Pecans For Center Of Pie
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, molasses, butter, salt and vanilla. Stir well.
Spread chocolate chips on bottom of pie shell. Add pecans on top of chocolate. Pour filling over pecans. Place a few whole pecan halves in the center of the pie.
Bake pie for 30 minutes. After that time, loosely cover pie with aluminum foil to prevent crust and pecans from over-browning. Bake pie for an additional 45 minutes or until pie filling has set.
Remove pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
