Chocolate Chip Bourbon Pecan Pie
Chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie is the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert. You will never go back to plain pecan by after trying this amped up version!
Servings 8 slices
Calories 367
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pie dough, or your favorite homemade recipe
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cup pecans
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
Instructions
- Roll the pie dough into a shallow 8- or 9-inch pie dish, leaving an inch overhang. Fold the excess dough under itself and then crimp the edges in a decorative pattern of your choice. Use a fork to prick holes in the dough across the bottom of the pan and up the sides (this prevents air bubbles from forming). Allow the dough to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the eggs, sugars, butter, maple syrup, vanilla, flour, pecans and chocolate chips in a bowl. Pour into the reserved pie dish.
- Place the pie dish onto a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven. After 10 minutes, lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and allow the pie to bake for another 30 minutes.
- Immediately after the pie is removed from the oven, drizzle the two tablespoons of bourbon evenly over the top. It will sizzle and combine with the other ingredients.
- Allow the pie to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

The only ways to make a pecan pie even better would totally be chocolate and booze. Well done, Jen!
Pecan pie is my favorite Thanksgiving dessert (ssshhhhhh don’t tell pumpkin pie!), and I can only imagine how over the top it would be with chocolate and bourbon. Holy cow. Is it Thanksgiving yet???
this looks and sounds amazing!! i love the change-up from the regular pecan pie – the bourbon addition? why oh why didn’t come over?! ;)
I’m obsessed with all things bourbon right now, especially desserts! It adds such a nice depth of flavor that you just can’t get otherwise.
