Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Press the pie crust evenly into a 9-inch pie dish.
- 2
Whisk the eggs, sugar, and corn syrup together in a bowl until smooth.
- 3
Whisk in the melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
- 4
Scatter the chocolate chips and walnuts evenly across the bottom of the crust.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture over the chocolate and walnuts.
- 6
Bake for 45-50 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
- 7
Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing.
- 8
Serve slices with whipped cream or ice cream.
Chef's tips
Chop the chocolate and walnuts into rough chunks so they layer well. Bake just until slightly jiggly so the center stays gooey as it cools.
Storage
Store covered at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
Reheating
Warm individual slices in a low oven for 10 minutes if desired.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Baking too long until completely firm, which ruins the gooey center.
- •Using a pie crust that is too thin to hold the heavy filling.
