Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • kosher salt
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 extra-large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 Tbsp good bourbon, such as Maker's Mark
  • 1-1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips, such as Nestle's
  • 1 cup whole pecans, large-diced
  • 1 9-inch store-bought frozen pie crust
  • Good vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Place an oven rack in the center of the oven.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and 1 tsp. salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, vanilla, and bourbon. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Place the pie crust on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Crimp the edge with a floured fork, pour the filling into the pie crust, and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes on the prepared rack until the filling is evenly golden brown on top and as firm in the middle as it is at the edges.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve in wedges with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Note: Defrost frozen pie crust in the refrigerator overnight.
