Bourbon Pecan Pie

Bourbon Pecan Pie is a rich and decadent dessert that combines the nutty flavor of toasted pecans with a hint of bourbon, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth. This kosher version captures the essence of classic American baking in a small, indulgent serving perfect for two.

Ingredients

• pie crust - 1 (store-bought or homemade, about 8 inches)
• pecan halves - 100 grams (about 1 cup)
• brown sugar - 75 grams (about 1/3 cup)
• corn syrup - 60 ml (about 1/4 cup)
• eggs - 1 large
• bourbon - 30 ml (about 2 tablespoons)
• vanilla extract - 5 ml (about 1 teaspoon)
• salt - a pinch
• butter - 15 grams (melted, about 1 tablespoon)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. Place the pie crust in a small pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
4. Stir in the pecan halves until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
5. Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly caramelized.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
