Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Slab Pie Recipes

BOURBON CHOCOLATE PECAN SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Make your crust in advance. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and instant espresso (if using) in a large mixing bowl.
• Sprinkle the chilled butter cubes over the dry ingredients and cut into the mixture using a pastry blender until the butter is in pea-sized chunks.
• Pour in 1/2 cup of the ice water and stir. Continue adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Press it into a disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until very cold. May be made up to 2 days in advance.
• Remove your crust from the refrigerator. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment and set aside.
• Roll our your crust into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface, rotating as needed to prevent sticking. Dust off any excess flour and place the pie crust into the rimmed baking sheet, making sure to guide it into all corners. Don't stretch the dough. Trim any excess dough and cut decorative accents if desired. Place the sheet pan and accents in the refrigerator.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Cook over medium low heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is very smooth and the sugar has mostly dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the bourbon and chopped chocolate.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, then slowly drizzle the hot sugar mixture into the eggs. Whisk constantly and pour slowly to avoid cooking the eggs!
• Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and prick with a fork. Pour in the pecans, and then pour over the pie filling mixture. Add your decorative accents if desired, then bake for 45 minutes until the center looks just set.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving with whipped cream or ice cream!

CHOCOLATE-PECAN-BOURBON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Using your thumb and index finger, crimp the edges of the pie shell. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown f inish. Set the pie shell to the side while you make the filling.
• To prepare the filling, using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix together the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and bourbon. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl at least 2 times while mixing. Add the warm melted butter and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans and chocolate chips. Sprinkle the pecan-chocolate chip mixture across the bottom of the pie shell. Pour the filling over the nuts and chips, covering them completely.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pie is firm. The edges of the filling will rise, but the middle will remain a little loose. Don't worry about this-the pie will continue to bake after it's removed from the oven. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and set for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
• If you choose, drizzle each slice with bourbon sauce to serve. Chocolate-Pecan-Bourbon Pie is best enjoyed either at room temperature or warmed at 350°F for about 10 minutes. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, it can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
