Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll Out Crust

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough.

  4. 4

    Blind Bake

    Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup until well combined.

  2. 6

    Add Eggs and Flavorings

    Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon until smooth.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Pecans and Chocolate

    Fold in the chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce until evenly distributed.

  4. 8

    Fill the Pie Crust

    Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Baking

  1. 9

    Bake the Pie

    Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly puffed.

  2. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
