This pie was created in honor of a very famous race in Kentucky. For trademark reasons, we can't mention the name of the pie. But there is no better way to finish off a Kentucky dinner with a slice of this goodness. Here's a variation.
Kentucky Chocolate Pecan Pie
Serves 6-8
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup shelled pecans (or walnuts), chopped
1 cup chocolate chips
1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
Whipped cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix sugar and flour. Stir in eggs, butter, and vanilla. Add walnuts and chocolate chips and stir until combined.
Spread mixture evenly in pastry shell.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until set. The pie should be soft and chewy but not runny.
Serve warm with whipped cream.
