Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 extra-large eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2-½ tbsp. good bourbon
  • 1-¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup whole pecans, large-diced
  • 1 9-inch Pillsbury pie crust
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour and salt.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, vanilla and bourbon.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients; stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Roll the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate; place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth the top.
  • Place the pie in the pre-heated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the filling is evenly golden brown on top and as firm in the middle as it is at the edges.
  • Remove from the oven; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve in wedges with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Since this recipe contains eggs, it is recommended to keep the unused portion in the refrigerator; remove from the refrigerator, if possible, at least 15 minutes prior to serving again.
