This pie …
Oh my …
If you like pecan pie, and you like chocolate, for the love of all that is good, try this pie. Soon!
Pie making is easy. All you do is take some pretty basic ingredients: eggs, light corn syrup, melted butter, light brown sugar, bourbon (just a little bit), all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, pecans and chocolate chips.
Find an empty pie shell you may have lying around, or make your own pie crust. My good friend Robyn from AddaPinch, has an excellent homemade pie crust recipe. During the holidays I also like to stock up on pre-made pie dough, that you unroll, fill and bake. It’s so easy to use and works great when running late on your baking schedule.
Mix up all the ingredients and fill that pie shell with all the good stuff.
Bake it up. And shazam! You’ve got a pretty darn tasty Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, if I do say so myself.
Going now to eat more pie.
And then hit the treadmill.
A few pie making notes:
- A big shout out to Jennifer Perillo from In Jennie’s Kitchen for tips on baking instructions. Her tip for baking at a high temp first then lowering the tempeartue always works perfectly when baking pies.
- Have fun crimping and decorating your pie. There is no right or wrong way. Here’s an excellent video I found for crimping pie crust 3 different ways. Have fun with it!

Oh, Amy. Why do you do this to me? If this pie was set in front of me, I would be destined to spend at least 4 hours on the treadmill to work off the 5 pieces I would eat.
My husband would call this Derby Pie. Looks lovely, Amy! Send a piece my way.
Okay, you crust is perfectly shaped. Wow. And holy pie this looks fab!
No. Just no. I already planned my Thanksgiving desserts and I can not allow you to make me change my mind.
Darn it.
I’m totally making this for Thanksgiving.
Wow, Amy! A great twist on the traditional Pecan Pie! Just imagining those flavors together and my mouth is watering for a slice.
JACKPOT!!!! I have a bag of beautiful pecans and was looking for something to do with them. This could not look more perfect 🙂
Wow, that pie looks sinfully good! So irresistible.
Cheers,
Rosa
Perfectly awesome, I just adore your photos!
So delicious and now I need to go watch that video. I make the worlds ugliest pies!
How’d you get that crust so perfectly shaped there?? I’m hopelessly crust challenged. This looks delicious. Might even rival Ree’s pie that we saw on FN last night 😉
Oh… please give me some now. I want to come to your house for Thanksgiving.
I make a pie with the same mix of ingredients; makes for such a wonderful alternative to regular pecan pie but I’m seeing a trend in my pies this year. Bourbon. LOVE how it blends with sweet ingredients though have to admit I also have some in a stuffing I’ll prepare. Hic.
Absolutely beautiful presentation.
Dang – I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a familiar pie to what I saw in Ree’s kitchen last night! Looks amazing – love the chocolate addition.
Love pecan pie. Never tried the chocolate thing with it though…although certainly I’ve added a little bourbon! 🙂 Looks incredible…
love,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
Oh, AMY!!! This is the pie you mentioned last night! I hope you had a BIG OL’ SLICE during the throwdown!!!
Pie love! Great post…this kind of pie is my Mr.’s favorite. If he sees this, I’ll have to bake it for him. Maybe I could just send him to your house and save my hips 🙂
Oh, dear. I just died. Was going to make pot roast for dinner but have revamped my entire plan.
