Here’s to our super hero skills paying off, and here’s to hoping our measly horse bets pay off too!Īdapted from The Pioneer Woman and Garden & Gunġ/2 cup (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes I enjoy this pie two times a year, during the Winter holidays and on Kentucky Derby day. The chocolate adds a nice, smooth bitterness. The filling is like a soft, sweet, sugar pudding… without the cream. Sweet and thick pie filling is poured over the chocolate and pecans. Use one crust… and then be the kind of baker that has an extra homemade pie crust just hanging out in the freezer for when, you know… you need to just whip up a random pie.Ĭhopped pecans and lots of dark chocolate are sprinkled across the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Here’s the oldest trick in the book: when making one pie crust from scratch… just make two.Ĭutting butter into flour for two crusts is just as easy as it is for one. This Bourbon Pecan Pie is a single crust pie. Sweet and sticky (super delicious) pie filling goop. When paired with eggs, pecans, and chocolate… I think corn syrup (especially the dark variety) is elevated out of its unfortunate reputation.Įggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, and bourbon are whisked together into a… goop (for lack of a better word). Some people think corn syrup is a naughty word(s). Melted butter meets sugar meets dark corn syrup. Eggs are the large variety, and here in New Orleans they sweat. We’re showing off for the Kentucky Derby. Let’s make this Bourbon Pecan Pie with Dark Chocolate. Maybe your superhero skill can be pie baking. Maybe your superhero skill is ‘ not eating all the cookie dough before it’s baked’. Maybe your answer is ‘dish washing like a ninja’, in which case please come over, flex your skills and eat this pie. What’s your superhero skill? If your answer is ‘long division’, I’m super impressed. Do not, however, throw a baseball my way (I can’t catch that!!!) or ask me to make you croissants (not in my superhero wheelhouse!!!). Suffice it to say, I can catch a falling wine glass without spilling a drop, and I can whip up a rich chocolate pecan pie in the blink of an eye. That last sentence I totally made up and it can’t possible be true. My two superhero skills are: catching things that are falling (anything really, it’s cat-like agility) and making PIES! Sometimes you’re just endowed with talents beyond your ability to learn them. Two! So good, really… that I’m tempted to call them skillzzzz.
