Kentucky Derby Pecan Pie
Ingredients
  • 3 extra large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/8 cups butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
  • 9 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, 325 degrees F (or equivalently, 165 degrees C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs vigorously with an electric mixer at maximum speed until they become light and airy, approximately 3 minutes; mix corn oil, bourbon whiskey, and vanilla extract into the eggs until just combined.
3
Mix flour, white sugar, and light brown sugar thoroughly with an electric mixer until the ingredients are fully incorporated into the egg mixture; then, incorporate softened butter into the mixture.
4
Gently fold in pecans and chocolate chips to the filling.
5
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and pour the filling mixture into the crust.
6
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge of the filling comes out clean, requiring 55 to 60 minutes of baking time.
7
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving; serve warm or at room temperature.
