A well-known horse race, famous faces and frilly hats-that is the Kentucky Derby. A rich and delicious chocolate chip pecan pie-that is the right kind of pie for the Kentucky Derby. This Southern favorite will have you racing like the horses to get the last piece of the scrumptious dessert. Place your bets--a "pie-fecta" for the Kentucky Derby and you'll come out a winner every time.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat 3 eggs in a large bowl until they're well mixed.
3. Add the dark corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla to the eggs. Still until well blended.
4. Fold the pecans and chocolate chips into the pie mixture. Make sure they're dispersed throughout the mixture.
5. Pour the bowl of pie mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust. You can either use a frozen ready-made pie crust that comes in its own aluminum pie pan or a frozen or refrigerated pie crust that you roll out into your own pie dish.
6. Bake the pie for 50 to 60 minutes or until done. Let it cool on a wire rack before serving. Cut yourself a big slice of pie, add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top and let the eating races begin.
