Time 1h45m

Yield 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 stick chilled unsalted butter, cut in pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
¼ cup Maker's Mark® Bourbon

1½ cups walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the is golden and dry, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and pie weights. Return the crust to the oven and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. 4. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar. Continue whisking while adding the butter, then the bourbon. Stir in the flour until well combined. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour into the warm pie shell. 5. Bake until the filling is set and the top golden, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon will shine through in the pie, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center. If you overcook it, the filling will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the pie.
