Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar. Add cubed butter and pulse until crumbly. Drizzle in ice water until dough forms. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Roll out chilled dough and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges and chill while making the filling.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Stir in chopped pecans, chocolate, and melted butter.
  5. Pour filling into prepared crust. Optionally, arrange whole pecans on top for decoration.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, tenting with foil if needed to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes to avoid sogginess.
  • For alcohol-free version, use espresso or bourbon extract.
  • Use chopped chocolate bars for smoother melting.
  • Let pie cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
