Discover the story

This is by far Camila's favorite pie in the whole world.

This Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie has become a must-make Thanksgiving tradition in Camila’s house. It’s not only her favorite but her entire family’s favorite, even down to her sister-in-law!

Thanks to a good family friend, Gerry Chaney, who not only made this one Thanksgiving but also shared the recipe with Camila.

Here is what Camila had to say about this family favorite recipe: Ok… Camila here… This pie is my all-time favorite!! Including my family and sister-in-law! But once you see the recipe you will think, Camila, all this corn syrup and sugar is horrible for me! And yes, it’s true it is not good… I take a few situations to make exceptions throughout the year and this is one of them! After Thanksgiving, the corn syrup and the regular sugar go out of the house and no more!! Hope you enjoy it!! Sending love and gratitude — xx Camila

We hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with your family and friends.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Ingredients

1 9 inch pie shell
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup bourbon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the corn syrup, butter, and sugar in a saucepan and heat on low until the sugar dissolves. Let cool for a few minutes off the heat.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, bourbon, salt, and vanilla. Then add the corn syrup mixture to it and whisk together.
Add the pecans and chocolate chips to the bowl and stir it a little. Don’t mix it too much because you’ll melt the chocolate.
Pour mixture into the pie crust and bake until golden, about 50 minutes.
