Description

I threw together a quick Kentucky Derby party for my girls. Since they aren’t quite ready for mint juleps, I made a pie instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Refrigerated Pie Crust
  • 1 cup Dark Corn Syrup
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Dark Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • ¼ cups Water
  • 4 whole Large Eggs
  • ¼ cups Butter, Melted
  • 2 teaspoons Cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ cup Chopped Pecans
  • 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Fit pie crust into a 9″ deep-dish pie plate.

Combine corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.

Whisk together eggs, butter, cornmeal, vanilla and salt. Gradually add in 1/4 of the corn syrup mixture. Whisk in remaining corn syrup mixture.

Place pecans and chocolate chips on pie crust. Pour filling over pecans and chocolate chips. Cover rim of pie plate with foil to keep the edge of the crust from overcooking.

Bake for 50 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
