Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cups light corn syrup
• 1 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
• 1 cups pecans (chopped)
• 0.5 cups walnuts (chopped)
• 1 dollop whipped cream (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the granulated sugar.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into the prepared pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired and set aside.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light corn syrup, and brown sugar until smooth.

Step 8

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, followed by the pure vanilla extract and bourbon if using.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped pecans, walnuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly combined.

Step 10

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can lightly cover it with foil halfway through baking, if needed, to prevent over-browning.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 13

Serve slices topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
