The chocolate also adds a creaminess in contrast to the crunchy nuts. The bourbon adds a warm floral and cinnamon finish on your palate.

Description

This pie combines crunchy pecans with the intense flavor of dark chocolate in a sweet-gooey filling.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, twice sifted
  • ½ tsp (2.5g) salt
  • ½ cup (125ml) vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup (62ml) milk

Filling

  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) melted butter
  • 1 cup (250ml) light or dark corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (63ml) bourbon (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1&1/2 cups (170g) pecans (chopped or halves)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and set aside a 9″ pie plate.
  2. Sift the flour twice, then whisk in the salt and create a well in the center.
  3. Pour in the oil, then milk, and stir everything together. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of milk.
  4. Once the dough starts to form, finish working it by gently kneading it on a sheet of wax paper.
  5. Roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper. Fit the crust onto your pie plate and crimp the edges.
  6. Whisk together the sugar, butter, corn syrup, eggs and bourbon. Stir in the pecan to coat and pour into pie crust. Sprinkle the filling evenly with chocolate chips.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is puffed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
