Chocolate Pecan Pie- OH MY!

 

Chocolate Pecan Pie

Who can resist a Southern Classic such as Pecan Pie?? Not me. So I searched the internet to find the perfect recipe for this southern staple. I found an even interesting concoction with the addition of the chocolate and bourbon. I tested it and added a little twist to make it mine. This recipe is super simple and easy to follow.

 Cooks Note: Make sure to watch it at around 40 minutes (do not scorch your pecans).

 So here we go. 

 

 

What You'll Need:

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
• 3 tablespoons bourbon liquor ( I used Jim Beam)
• 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
• 1/2 cup mini milk chocolate morsels
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt butter in a small saucepan. While butter is melting, add beaten eggs to a medium bowl. Stir in brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, corn syrup and bourbon until combined. Add butter when just melted (make sure not to burn your butter).

Mix in the pecans and chocolate morsels. Mix all together. Pour mixture into pie shell.

Place on a sheet tray and bake for 50 to 60 minutes (less if you're using a gas stove, but make sure you're watching through-out the cooking process). 

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream

Who knew making a home-made pecan pie would be this easy??? This is quickly going to become my favorite pie to make. Now I have to master the home-made pie crust!
