Now that Mother’s Day is long over, it’s time to focus on Father’s Day coming up. So let’s indulge dad’s sweet tooth with this  rich, bold and nutty pecan pie that is made extra special for dad with the addition of chocolate and bourbon.

This pie combines crunchy pecans with the intense flavor of dark chocolate in a sweet-gooey filling. The addition of bourbon gives it a grown-up flair.

The bittersweet flavor of the dark chocolate balances the super sweet sugary filling. The chocolate also adds a creaminess in contrast to the crunchy nuts. The bourbon adds a warm floral and cinnamon finish on your palate. Though if bourbon is not your thing, you can simply replace it with vanilla extract.

This recipe takes pecan pie and adds the intense flavor of bourbon and chocolate together in a sweet-gooey filling.

This recipe starts with my go-to flaky pie crust that is only 4 ingredients and comes together in minutes. Then you mix together the filling, pour it into the pie crust, sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake. It’s so easy to put together and looks gorgeous presented .

This dessert is sweet, crunchy, and chocolaty with a boozy kick! It’s a perfect way to treat dad on Father’s Day and show him how special he is.
