Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

January 25th, 2011 · No Comments

Along with the classic Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie, we also had Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie at Thanksgiving dinner. I love pecan pie and decided to switch it up this year with chocolate and boooze. It was SO good. Very rich, but very good. We shared both of our pies with my family and everyone seemed to like them both.

In a large bowl combine eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Mix well. Slowly pour sugar mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Pour mixture into pie shell.

Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie

January 25th, 2011 · 1 Comment

For part of our Thanksgiving dinner Dallas requested pumpkin pie. Plain pumpkin pie. No bars, nothing fancy, not cookies, just a classic pumpkin pie. SO, I made Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie. And he loved it!

Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie
From: All Recipes

1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can NESTLE® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.

Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)
