- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 2 large egg yolks
- About 4 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), melted
- 2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint cold heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- Combine flour, salt, and butter in a medium bowl.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles fine cornmeal, about 5 minutes.
- Mix egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of the ice water until evenly combined.
- Add to flour mixture a little at a time, stirring in until dough can be formed into a ball.
- (Add additional ice water if necessary, but do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.)
- Shape dough into a flat disk, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll out dough into a round that is roughly 12 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with dough, trimming excess flush to the edge of the pie plate.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Scatter pecans and chocolate chips evenly over bottom of pie crust.
- Stir together eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract until well blended, then pour into crust.
- Bake until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes.
- Remove pie from the oven and place on a rack to cool.
- Serve pie warm or at room temperature with generous dollops of vanilla whipped cream (optional).
- Combine heavy cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Whisk until soft peaks form (cream will just hold to the whisk), being careful not to overwhip.
