Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought

  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (optional, for egg wash)

Filling:

  • 3 large eggs

  • ¾ cup light corn syrup

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 3 tbsp bourbon

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 ½ cups chopped pecans (toasted)

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll and fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill 15 minutes.

  • Toast pecans in the oven for 6–8 minutes. Let cool.

  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, sugars, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt.

  • Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.

  • Pour filling into chilled crust. Brush edges with egg wash if desired.

  • Bake 50–60 minutes, covering edges with foil if browning too fast.

Notes

  • Store at room temp (2 days) or refrigerate (up to 5 days).

  • Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

  • Best when made a day ahead.
