Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie pastry
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) butter, melted, cooled slightly
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 or 2 tablespoons good quality Kentucky Bourbon, optional
Instructions
Heat the oven to 325°F.
Prepare the pie shell. Fit pie pastry in a 9-inch pie pan and flute as desired. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and walnuts in the unbaked pie crust.
Make the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the light brown and granulated sugars with the eggs, flour, salt, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended. If desired, whisk in the bourbon.
Bake the pie. Pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and nuts. Bake the pie for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Cool on a rack.
Serve. Top slices of pie with whipped cream or frozen thawed whipped topping, or serve it warm with a big scoop of ice cream.
