Pecan Pie With Kahlua and Chocolate Chips

KelBel's Note:

I have been making this pie for Thanksgiving for years. It is very simple and very sweet. Serve with whipped cream.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup unsalted butter , room temperature
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup corn syrup
• ¼ cup Kahlua
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup pecans , chopped
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 deep dish pie shell , 9 inch

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Beat sugar and butter in medium bowl until smooth; beat in flour. Gradually beat in corn syrup, then Kahlúa and vanilla.
3. Mix in eggs, then chopped pecans.
4. Sprinkle chocolate chips over bottom of crust. Pour filling into crust.
5. Bake pie until filling is puffed around edges and just set in center, covering edge of crust if browning too quickly, about 45 minutes.
6. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.

I cannot fault this recipe -- it is fantastic -- but I ruined the pie! I forgot to buy kahlua and didn't have any similar alcohol in the house, so I substituted 1/4 cup coffee for the kahlua. BAD idea. After an hour it was still practically liquid everywhere under the surface -- not just in the center! When I took it out of the oven, half of the pie sloshed out onto my floor. I will definitely try it again another time though b/c the cooked parts (all tiny outer edges of them) were delicious. Sigh.

This came out great. I used light corn syrup and brown sugar. I also toasted the pecans before I put them in! Perfect for my derby party.

Wonderful! I loved the little 'surprise' taste of the chocolate chips and will probably add a little more next time. Definitely a keeper. Thanks KelBel.
