Pie Ingredients

Method

Pie Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and corn syrup, mixing until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Add Pecans and Chocolate

    Fold in the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips. If desired, stir in the bourbon for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Fill the Pie Crust

    Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
