Print Recipe

A rich and indulgent bourbon chocolate pecan pie with a gooey center, perfect for special occasions and celebrations. Combines toasted pecans, melted chocolate, and a subtle bourbon warmth for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, lightly toasted
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in your dish and set aside. Crimp edges if desired.
  2. Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for 7-8 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. The filling should be shiny and thick.
  6. Gently fold in the toasted pecans, reserving a handful for topping if desired.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle reserved pecans evenly over the top.
  8. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes. The filling should be set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
  9. Cool the pie completely at room temperature for at least two hours before slicing.

Notes

If crust edges brown too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature eggs for smooth filling. Toast pecans to enhance flavor. Cool pie completely before slicing for best texture. Pie can be made a day ahead for better flavor melding. Rotate pie halfway through baking if oven has hot spots. Sprinkle flaky sea salt before serving for contrast.
