A trifecta of chocolate, pecans and bourbon, this pie is the perfect dessert to serve at your Kentucky Derby party. Even if you're not into horse racing, you won't be able to resist a slice of this delicious dessert.
Add melted butter and stir until combined. Add eggs and bourbon and stir until fully incorporated.
Fold in pecans and chocolate chips.
Pour mixture into a deep dish pie pan.
Place pie pan in the middle of a large rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until the pie is set and the crust is light brown.
Check on the pie as it it cooking. If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with foil and continue baking.
Remove from oven, allow to cool, cut and serve.
Notes
Notes & Tips
To prevent messy spills in the oven, place the pie pan on a large rimmed baking sheet to bake.
To keep the edges of the pie crust from browning too quickly, you may need to cover them with foil part way through or use a pie shield. Check the pie after 10 or 15 minutes in the oven. If the edges are browning too quickly, add foil or the pie shield.
