A cozy, fudgy Kentucky Derby pie made with bourbon-infused chocolate chips and toasted pecans, baked in a skillet for crispy edges. Quick to assemble and deeply satisfying, this dessert is perfect for Derby Day or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (180g) bourbon-infused chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie crust, unbaked

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in the pan and set it aside on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the flour and whisk gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine.
  4. Fold in the bourbon chocolate chips and toasted pecans using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Gently tap the pan on the counter once or twice to release any air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly when gently shaken. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. The filling continues to set as it cools.
  8. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream balances the richness.

Notes

Don’t over-bake; pull when center still has a slight wobble. Toast pecans for deeper flavor. Use a deep-dish crust to avoid overflow. Let cool completely before slicing to prevent a runny filling.
