recipe reviews for:

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

“Sweet, chocolaty, crunchy, and down-right decadent, this pie is sure to please all. Corn syrup, butter, and sugar are first melted, and then eggs, bourbon, vanilla and salt are combined in a bowl and whisked along with the heated sugar mixture. Then the chocolate and pecans are mixed into the filling that 's then poured into the pie shell.”

I won a cooking contest at work with this recipe! I follow the recipe more or less as written, with the following tweaks... I use a deep dish pie pan, I pour half a bag of chips onto the bottom of the pie crust, followed by half a pound of pecan halves, then pour the liquid mixture over that rather than mixing them all together.

I made this pie for my best friend's birthday. Chocolate pecan pie is her favorite since she visited New Orleans. She and the guests absolutely loved it! She did say it was the best pecan pie she ever had! I did use the other reviewer's suggestions, using the 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tblsps of Kahula, and I laid the chips in the pie shell first. I took 2 pie shells, rolled them together and used a pyrex pie plate. There was a lot of filling and one shell wouldnt have been enough, next time I will buy a deep dish shell. I served the pie with Haagen Das vanilla ice cream.

I learned from Annie Overboe way back that the way to make a pecan pie really amazing is to double the pecans because in most the goop to nut ratio is too high. I only added an extra half cup to this recipe because with all the chocolate and bourbon in the goop I knew the goop would be the best part of it. Served it just a little warm with home made vanilla ice cream on the side and a whipped cream bonnet. It was perfect for Fat Tuesday...totally over the top. I let the butter/sugar/syrup mixture cool enough to not cook the eggs but still warm enough to melt the chocolate. Unlike most people here I used all the booze and all the chocolate and all the sugar this recipe called for and it was fantastic!!!! IMHO you can never have too much chocolate or booze in a dessert. My husband ate all his and then started in on what was left on our daughter's plate. I used some really nice old Bushmill's. Maybe that's why it went down so smooth. Makes one nice sized pie, filled to the brim if you use a pyrex pie plate and make your own crust.

Great pie!! I tried this after having a chocolate bourbon pecan pie at my in-laws. It turned out better than theirs!! I only wish I would have made more than one.

This is a HUGE hit...Have made 5 within the past two weeks, due to requests! A couple of personalizations...use 3 whole eggs, plus 2 yokes. Also, add just a pinch of Chile de Arbol powder to syrup...no heat, but it really adds a great zip "binder" for the sweet & chocolate I do put the chocolate & pecans on the bottom of the crust. Wonderful, and...easy as pie!

First pecan pie attempt and it turned out beautifully. Rave reviews from family over the Holidays. Bourbon was a definite flavor factor, might try it with a little less next time.
