There are some recipes that become part of a family’s story, and this is certainly one of ours. 🥧🤎
Dennis has been making his Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie for decades. He usually makes 12 or 13 pies at a time, so finally getting his recipe scaled down to ONE pie was quite an accomplishment! 😆
Our son Zach loves this pie so much that he requests it for both his birthday and Thanksgiving, which fall close together every year. Dennis keeps a supply tucked away in the freezer—and before his knee surgery, he made sure those special pies were already baked and waiting.
That’s one of the ways Dennis shows his love: making sure there is something homemade to look forward to. 💛
🍂 RosemaryThyme Bakery — Dennis’s Southern Chocolate Pecan Bourbon Pie
Milk chocolate, pecans, and a splash of orange whiskey make this a rich, sweet family favorite.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ⅔ cup Great Value Granulated Sugar
• ⅓ cup Great Value Unsalted Butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups Great Value Milk Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Great Value Pecan Halves
• 1 shot (1½ fluid ounces) Jim Beam Orange whiskey
• 1 unbaked Great Value Deep Dish Pie Crust
DIRECTIONS
- Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the pecan halves and milk chocolate chips evenly in the unbaked deep-dish pie shell. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and salt.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, corn syrup, and whiskey.
- Add the eggs and mix with an electric mixer until combined.
- Pour the filling evenly over the pecans and chocolate chips.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, beginning to check at 30 minutes. Dennis checks the filling with a knife; when it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing.
RECIPE NOTES
🥧 Use a deep-dish crust to accommodate the filling.
🍂 If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with a pie shield or strips of foil.
🤎 Melted chocolate may leave a little chocolate on the knife—check that the custard filling is set.
A little RosemaryThyme note…
Some of our most treasured family traditions begin in the kitchen. For us, this pie carries decades of birthdays, Thanksgiving dinners, and memories of Dennis baking for the people he loves. I’m so happy to share his one-pie recipe with your family.
