I've tried many recipes for pecan pie over the years, including Kentucky Derby pie, chocolate pecan pie, bourbon pecan pie... it was hard work, but somebody has to do it! This is my favorite recipe and inspired my boyfriend to suggest that I start a bakery called, "Minus One Slice" so he could taste test every pie.
Ingredients
1/2 cup of non-dairy butter
3 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup light Karo syrup1 Tbs molasses
1-2 Tbs bourbon or whiskey
1 Tbs flour
1-1/2 cups pecan halves
1 cup non-dairy chocolate chunks, such as Baker's semi-sweet chocolate chunks
1 unbaked pie crust
Directions
Melt butter. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and salt. Continue beating and add sugar, vanilla and then Karo syrup, molasses, bourbon and flour. Mix in the melted butter.
Place chocolate chunks on the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Then arrange the pecan halves on top of the chocolate chunks. Then slowly pour the egg mixture over the pecans.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
