BOURBON AND CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE



Bourbon and Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup dark corn syrup or sugar cane syrup (such as Steen's)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • To make the pastry: combine the flour, ground pecans, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough into the pan so it fits tightly and trim the excess around the rim. Place the pie pan on a sturdy cookie sheet so it will be easy to move in and out of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the filling: melt the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, remove from heat and let cool. Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl until frothy and then blend in the sugar. Stir in the syrup, vanilla, bourbon, salt, and the melted butter mixture until well blended.
  • Arrange the pecans on the bottom of the pie crust and carefully pour the egg mixture over them. Bake until the filling is set and slightly puffed, about 45 minutes. Test for doneness by sticking a thin knife in the center of the pie, if it comes out pretty clean, you're good to go. Transfer the pie to rack and cool completely before cutting.

CHOCOLATE BOURBON PECAN PIE



Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield One 9-inch pie (6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 ounces (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1/3 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup sorghum (See Cook's Note)
3 to 4 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the salt, granulated sugar and 1 1/4 cups of the flour in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and pulse until there are pea-size pieces. Add the ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, and pulse until the mixture barely comes together. Turn it out onto a piece of parchment paper and press into a disc. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly-dusted surface so it is large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie pan with a slight overhang. A little trick to make sure the pie crust is round: Roll out the dough from the center outward, like the rays of the sun. Place the dough in the pie pan and fold over the overhang to create a nice crust ¿ no need to cut off scraps. Pierce the base all over with a fork, line with foil and fill with baking weights or beans. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 12 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights. Return the pie crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the crust will be crisp. Allow to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the brown sugar and eggs in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and mix for another 2 minutes. Add the sorghum and bourbon and mix until combined. Finish by stirring in half of the pecans.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of the crust with the chocolate chips and remaining pecans. Gently pour in the pie filling. Bake until the top is firm but the center is slightly gooey, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool on the counter for 4 hours or in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, intense flavor.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to the pie for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
  • Use a good quality bourbon for the best flavor. A high-proof bourbon will give the pie a more pronounced bourbon flavor.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. Overbaking will make the pie dry.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey pecan filling, and a hint of bourbon, this chocolate bourbon pecan pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
