Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Pie is the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving, and this Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie is a delicious choice to make to go with your Thanksgiving meal. Pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pound cake and Dutch apple pie are good choices too, but everyone loves a good pecan pie. And in this pecan pie, chocolate is the star of the show (with a little bourbon in there as well!)

✏️ How to make Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the pie crust into a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, butter, sugars, bourbon, flour and vanilla. Then stir in the pecans and melted chocolate.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust, and bake on the lowest oven rack for 1 hour (or until set). Cover the pie loosely with foil after 20 minutes of baking to avoid browning or burning the crust.
- Cool completely before serving.
➡️ Recipe Tips and Substitutions:
- Use a pre-made pie crust or your favorite pie crust for this recipe.
- I think semisweet chocolate works best for this recipe, but you can substitute dark chocolate if you’d like.
- Chopped chocolate may be used in place of chocolate chips.
✓ What to serve with Pecan Pie:
A scoop of ice cream is an excellent choice to serve with this bourbon chocolate pecan pie because it will cut the richness of the chocolate a bit. Whipped cream is another good topper for pecan pie.
★ How to Store:
Bake this pie up to one day ahead of time, and keep refrigerated. Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days. Freeze this baked pie for up to two months (well wrapped).
❤️ Why I Love This Recipe:
- I love how the pecans mostly float up to the top, giving this pie the look of pecan on the top and the surprise of chocolate underneath.
- Chocolate and pecan are an excellent combination.
- Bourbon is a delightful addition. Since kids don’t usually like pecan pie anyways, it all works out for the adults!
