Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

A rich and decadent pecan pie with a hint of bourbon and a layer of melted chocolate, perfect for holiday celebrations or any special occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and sprinkle the chopped chocolate evenly over the bottom of the crust.
  4. Arrange the pecan halves evenly over the chocolate layer.
  5. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans and chocolate.
  6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  7. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to let the filling set.

Notes

For best results, use fresh pecans and high-quality bourbon. Letting the pie cool fully ensures clean slices and a firm filling. You can serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
