Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons bourbon whiskey, divided
2 eggs
1 cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
⅔ cup maple syrup, or dark corn syrup
½ cup cream, warm to the touch
4 tablespoons butter, cold
2 cups roasted pecan, chopped
whole roasted pecan, to serve

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press it evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and milk. With a hand mixer, beat until fluffy and fully incorporated.
Add in the sour cream, flour, 2 teaspoons of the bourbon, and the two eggs and gently continue to mix until the cream cheese filling is smooth.
Pour the mixture into the springform pan with the graham cracker crust and bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake no longer jiggles.
While the cheesecake is cooking, prepare the stove-top pecan pie filling.
In a bowl combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt, stir together and pour into a medium saucepan on low heat.
Pour in the egg yolks, maple syrup, and warm cream and whisk until smooth.
Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens like a pudding, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the cold butter and the final teaspoon of bourbon and whisk until fully emulsified. The pudding-like mixture should be around room temperature.
Fold in the roasted, chopped pecans and then pour the mixture over the cooked cheesecake and spread it out as an even layer.
If you like, sprinkle with extra chopped pecans or garnish with whole pecans.
Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator until completely set.
Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.
Enjoy!

Tips:

To achieve the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add richness, while the shortening will help create a tender texture.
Make sure the butter and shortening are very cold before working with them. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too greasy.
Work the dough quickly and avoid over-handling it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Rolling the dough too thinly will make it difficult to work with and may cause it to tear.
When filling the pie crust, leave at least a 1-inch border around the edges. This will allow the crust to rise and prevent the filling from spilling out.
Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes and continue baking until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Derby Pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It has a delicious combination of chocolate, pecans, and a flaky crust. With just a few simple tips, you can make a Derby Pie that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
