How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See the recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Step 1: Prep Your Crust
Start by rolling out your pie crust and fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges for a pretty finish, then pop it in the fridge to chill while you work on the filling.

Step 2: Toast the Pecans
Spread your pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. This step is key for bringing out their nutty flavor and adding a little extra crunch to your pie.

Step 3: Make the Filling
In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Whisk in sugar, eggs, bourbon, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Stir in the toasted pecans, making sure they’re evenly coated in that delicious, gooey mixture.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Pour the filling into your chilled pie crust and spread it out evenly. Bake in the oven until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely before slicing—trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Pro Tips

• Use a store-bought pie crust if you’re short on time—no shame in taking shortcuts!
• Don’t skip toasting the pecans. It adds a depth of flavor that takes this pie to the next level.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, beautiful slices.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-decadent treat.

Storage

• Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For longer storage, keep the pie in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• You can also freeze the pie (whole or sliced) for up to 2 months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
