Instructions
Before you lot start, laid your eggs out inwards a bowl on the counter thence they tin come upward to room temp. This is really important!
Make pie crust: Follow the directions inwards my post service on How to Make Perfect Pie Crust. We entirely require a bottom crust for this pie, thence you lot tin cutting the recipe inwards half, or brand the total recipe together with reserve one-half for some other pie.
Follow the directions through pace seven - freeze the crust inwards the pie plate equally directed (without egg launder - that comes only earlier baking), together with although this is a single-crust pie, we're NOT blind-baking it thence ignore that step. Make the filling spell the dough is inwards the freezer.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla, salt, together with room temp eggs. Set aside.
In a medium pot on the stove, over medium heat, whisk together the bourbon, chocolate-brown rice syrup, together with chocolate-brown sugar.

After the bourbon mixture is all mixed inwards to the egg mixture, whisk inwards the chocolate butter mixture (pop it dorsum inwards the microwave for a few seconds if it's hardened upward at all) until fully combined together with smooth. Set aside.
Assemble the pie: Beat an egg inwards a modest bow amongst a splash of H2O - this is your egg wash. Pour 1 together with 1/2 cups of the pecans into the bottom of the frozen, crimped pie crust, together with pour the filling over the reach of them. Pop the remaining 1/2 loving cup of pecans on the reach of the filling to arrive await nice.
Brush the edges of the pie crust amongst the egg wash. Sprinkle some coarse carbohydrate over the edges of the crust.
Bake: Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. (Add a piece of foil or a pie shield around the edges of the crust afterward 20-25 minutes, if the crust is getting also brown, to forbid burning.)
Serve + Store: Let pie cool completely earlier cutting + serving (about three hours). Serve amongst whipped cream! Store leftovers, covered, inwards the refrigerator for upward to v days.
Make Ahead Tip: Pie dough tin live made 1-2 days inwards advance, together with kept inwards the fridge, tightly covered, or made 1 calendar month inwards advance, together with kept inwards the freezer, tightly covered. Let it sit down inwards the refrigerator overnight earlier using, to thaw.
The pie tin live baked 1-2 days earlier serving. Allow it to cool completely, together with thence embrace it tightly amongst foil/plastic roll together with refrigerate until gear upward to serve.
Recipe Notes
NOTE: To pick out your eggs to room temp faster, identify them inwards a bowl of warm H2O for nearly 5-10 minutes.
NOTE: To brand whipped cream, trounce 1 loving cup COLD heavy whipping cream w/ two TBSP powdered carbohydrate + 1 tsp vanilla inwards a large mixing bowl on high speed until stiff peaks shape when you lot plow off the mixer together with elevator it straightaway out of the bowl. Whipped cream is best made correct earlier you lot conception to serve it. I similar to add together a pinch of nutmeg when I arrive for extra flavor! Refrigerate leftovers, but know it's best the showtime day.
