KENTUCKY "RACE DAY" CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE



Kentucky

This is an incredibly easy but wonderful pie recipe to celebrate the Kentucky Derby! It is very rich, but it is great with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. To speed up the process, you could use a pre-packaged pie crust, but I highly recommend making a quick and easy crust from scratch!

Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt

¼ cup ice water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon bourbon
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup water
4 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons cornmeal
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Fit piecrust into a 9" deep-dish pie plate.
  • Combine corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar and water in large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  • Pour filling over pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Cover rim of pie plate with foil to keep the edge of the crust from over-cooking.
  • Bake for 50 minutes.
  • Let cool before slicing.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh pecan halves. If you don't have pecan halves, you can chop larger pieces into smaller ones.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it before filling it.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can cause the pie filling to be tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
