Pie
1 regular frozen pie crust (not deep dish)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup chocolate chips


Bourbon Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp Maker's Mark Bourbon


Preheat oven to 325.

Melt butter, and cool for about 5 minutes. Combine flour and sugar. Whisk in melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Stir in nuts.

Sprinkle chocolate chips on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour pecan mixture over chocolate chips.

Bake for 1 hour. Serve with Bourbon Whipped Cream.

To make the cream, Whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar and bourbon. (I chill my mixing bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before adding the cream and sugar). Whip at high speed for 1-2 minutes.
