This is the best picture of the day, mostly because making pies and drinking whiskey early in the day results in fun in the sun and forgetting to take many pictures. But I did think to take this shot of all the lovely ingredients and below I am including my version of the Kentucky Derby Pie, which has much less sugar than most, and it comes out pretty damn delicious. This recipe makes 2 pies, because the fun part is being able to share with others and still have some for you! Make sure you have whipped cream on top!
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 5 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt, pinch of cinnamon
- 2 ready-made piecrusts
Bake pies for 45-50 minutes, pull our once a little golden brown. If you leave them in too long they get dried up and aren't as gooey (gooey is good).
*disclaimer: i in no way own derby pie recipe, this recipe is my original formula inspired by the real thing.
