Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut, divided
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter and bourbon until blended. Stir in chocolate chips, 1 cup coconut and pecans. Pour into crust; sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons coconut.
  3. Bake until filling is set and coconut is golden brown, 45-50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; serve or refrigerate within 2 hours.
Dough for single-crust pie (9 in.)
Combine 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp. salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3-5 Tbsp. ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
