Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Pie Crust
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Position the oven rack on the bottom and preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Roll out chilled pie dough disc on a lightly floured work surface until dough is about ⅛” thick and about 12” in diameter.
- Transfer dough to a 9” pie plate. Trim the edge of the dough so that there is about 1” overhang.
- Fold the edges under and crimp with your fingers or a fork.
- Put the pie plate in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, dark brown sugar, dark corn syrup, vanilla, melted butter, bourbon and kosher salt until blended.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Remove the pie plate from the freezer and pour pecan filling into prepared pie plate. Use a spatula to even out the filling.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then tent the crust with foil or a pie shield if the crust edge is browning too quickly. Cook for an additional 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack and top with flaky sea salt. Let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
I usually make this a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight. Bring to room temperature or rewarm at 325°F for 15 minutes before serving.
