Chocolate Walnut Bourbon Pie (Kentucky Derby Pie)
Chocolate Walnut Bourbon Pie! This Kentucky Derby pie recipe is one you should bet on: A rich, bourbon-infused chocolate and walnut filling bakes inside a pastry dough shell, creating a cookie-like confection that’s trophy-worthy!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 store bough or homemade pie crust
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter melted & slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
- 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: Fresh whipped cream
- mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make pie crust, or unwrap store bought. Arrange in a pie dish. Pierce all over with a fork. Refrigerate until needed.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until just combined. Gently mix in walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour mixture into unbaked pie crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is slightly puffed and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the pie comes out mostly clean. (It will have a fudgy texture and set more once it cools.)
- Cool completely before slicing. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprig of mint if desired.
