Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup pecan halves

  • 1 cup light corn syrup

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ¼ cup bourbon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • cup dark chocolate chips

  • cup milk chocolate chips

  • cup white chocolate chips

  • 1 pastry for a 9-inch pie crust

  • 2 teaspoons milk, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecan halves on a baking sheet.

  2. Toast pecans in the preheating oven, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. Chop coarsely.

  3. Whisk corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, bourbon, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir pecans, dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips into the filling.

  4. Line a 9-inch fluted glass pie plate with pie crust. Brush milk over crust.

  5. Bake pie crust in the preheated oven until hot to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour filling into the hot crust.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm and center is mostly set, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Cook's Notes:

If making pie pastry from scratch, use a lard-based recipe and substitute vodka for the vinegar.

Substitute dark rum for the bourbon if desired.
