Craving pecan pie? Try this recipe with a kick by grandbabycakes on YouTube, instead of serving regular pecan pie, this tutorial will show you how to add some bourbon flavor to your favorite pastry. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups Pecans
• 1 Perfect pie crust dough or you can use 1 frozen pie crust
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
• ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter
• 4 large Eggs, room temperature
• ¼ cup Bourbon
• 1½ tsp Pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Step 1

Flour your surface then roll and shape your dough until it fits the pie plate. Transfer the dough to the pie plate, press down, trim off the excess, and crimp the sides. Use a fork to poke around the bottom and sides of the crust, place a sheet of parchment paper over the top, add pie weights to the middle, and freeze it for 10 minutes. The parchment paper will help you to easily lift out the weights. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 325°F, until firm and slightly golden. Spread the pecans over a baking sheet, then toast the nuts in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through. Transfer the pecans to a heat-safe bowl and allow them to completely cool.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, light corn syrup, and butter, stirring occasionally. Once the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat. Transfer the liquid to a large heat-safe bowl and allow it to cool. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Once the mixture is cool enough, gradually add the egg mixture to the sugar mixture, then whisk until well combined. Chop up the pecans, then add to the rest of the ingredients along with the chocolate chips. Stir it well until fully combined. Transfer the filling to the pie crust, then bake it for 50-60 minutes. Check the pie halfway through, if the edges are browning too quickly cover them with aluminum foil. The pie is done when the edges are set but the middle is still a bit wobbly when touched. Remove the pie from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
