This rich twist on the Southern classic incorporates a splash of Kentucky bourbon and semisweet chocolate chips for a deep, smoky flavor profile. The filling creates a gooey, caramel-like texture that pairs perfectly with the crunch of toasted pecans and flaky crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively.
Spread the pecan halves and semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg and sugar mixture carefully over the pecans and chocolate chips in the crust. The nuts will naturally float to the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The pie is done when the filling is puffed and set, but the center still jiggles slightly like gelatin when moved.
Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets firmly.
