Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F so it is ready before assembling the pie.
- Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges neatly.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans and chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the crust.
- In a saucepan, combine the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, then cook while whisking until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugars dissolve.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, flour, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour a small portion of the hot sugar mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining hot sugar mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling evenly over the pecans and chocolate chips in the pie crust.
- Bake until the edges are set and slightly puffed while the center remains just a bit jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack so it sets properly.
- Slice and serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish.
