Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for variation)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves (toasted for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for stabilizing filling)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out pie crust and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges. Chill crust in fridge while preparing filling.
  3. Spread pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 6-8 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, and eggs until smooth.
  5. Add bourbon, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and flour (if using). Whisk until fully combined.
  6. Fold in toasted pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour filling into chilled crust. Optionally, arrange extra pecan halves on top.
  8. Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes. Edges should be set, center should jiggle slightly.
  9. Cool pie on a rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  10. For clean slices, refrigerate pie for 1 hour before cutting. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust and cornstarch instead of flour. Toasting pecans enhances flavor and crunch. Don’t overbake—the center should jiggle slightly for a gooey texture. Refrigerate before slicing for clean cuts. Pie can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; flavors deepen overnight. Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months.
