Jack Daniels Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Combine eggs, sugar, butter, syrup, vanilla and Jack Daniel's; mix well.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the bottom of the pie shell.
• Add the pie mixture and pecans.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl combine the eggs, sugar, butter, syrup, vanilla, and Jack Daniel's whiskey. Mix well. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Cover the chips with pecan halves starting around the outside edge and working your way in towards the center, with the pecans. Pour the filling over the chips and pecans. Pecans will rise to the top during baking. If they flip over after pouring in the filling, turn them so they are turned the same way and will "look pretty." (as my ggmother used to say) Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted about halfway from the center to the edge comes out clean. You may want to cover the pie crust edge with aluminum foil or a ring to keep from browning too much.

Steps:

• In a large stainless steel or enameled saucepan, heat the milk until bubbles rise around the edge of the pan.
• Remove from the heat, add vanilla, cover, and let steep for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate with the whiskey in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat and set aside.
• In a big bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thoroughly combined; gradually whisk in the warm milk.
• Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until just slightly thickened; the temperature should be 170° on an instant-read thermometer.
• Strain the custard through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl and let cool.
• Stir the melted chocolate mixture and cream mixture into the custard; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions; transfer to a freezer container and freeze for an hour or two to firm before serving.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients and mix with an electric mixer.
• Add the melted butter and mix quickly with mixer.
• Place pecans halves in the pie crust in the 10-inch pie plate. Pour syrup mixture over the nuts.
• Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes. Check on it at 40 minutes. At 50 minutes, the syrup should be bubbling up around the pecans, which means it's done. Remove pie from oven and let cool on rack for an hour or two.
• Refrigerate pie for several hours or overnight. Refrigeration thickens pie syrup and intensifies flavor.
• Serve a la mode with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Melt together butter and dark chocolate.
