    Bourbon Molasses Chocolate Pecan Pie

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Boston is one of the most historical cities in the U.S. and as you walk through the city it is so apparent.  There are so many historical sites.  So many, in fact, that there is a walking trail you can follow through the city to hit some of the biggest historical spots.  But the historical fact I find most interesting is not part of the trail. 

    On January 15, 1919, a silo filled with molasses burst open and flooded the North End neighborhood, killing 21 people and injuring 150. It’s such a unique and interesting story that, at least outside of Boston, seems mostly unknown. Because I now live in the North End, and because this week marks the 100th anniversary of the flood, I have made a dessert to honor this event. It combines my southern roots with my Boston home.  It’s Bourbon and it’s Molasses. A taste of both of my homes combined in a pie.

    What you'll need

    All you need is a bowl and a spoon or a silicone spatula. And a pie crust. I buy them pre-made, but you can make your own if you're feeling adventurous!

    Ingredients

    pie crust
    eggs
    brown sugar
    flour
    bourbon
    molasses
    butter
    chocolate chips
    pecans

All on top of a white marbled surface with crumbs spread around the surface.

    How to make Bourbon Molasses Chocolate Pecan Pie

    This pie is so incredibly easy! Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a pie crust. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top because, obviously. Bake. Boom, done!

    How to Serve Bourbon Molasses Chocolate Pecan Pie

    I think my favorite way to eat this pie is warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but this pie can be served room temperature, or even cold.  This pie is delicious no matter how you serve it!

    This pie works perfectly for a Derby party or your Thanksgiving table or brunch, anything in between!

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. But I knew that baking did not need to be difficult! As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
