Categories: Dessert, Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) basic flaky pie shells, refrigerated
  • Filling
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened butter, softened
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cake flour, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or 1/4 cup light cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans

Directions

  1. **Roll out pie pastry; fit into 9-inch pie pan; sculpt edge into an upstanding ridge; place in freezer for 15 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°.

  3. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter on medium speed; gradually adding the sugars.

  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  5. Beat in the vanilla; add the flour and salt and blend until evenly mixed.

  6. Blend in the milk; don?t be concerned if the filling looks a little curdled.

  7. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

  8. Pour filling into chilled pie shell, smooth the top.

  9. Place pie on center oven rack; bake about 1 hour, rotating the pie 180° halfway through the baking time (watch crust edges and cover with foil to prevent overbrowning).

  10. When done, the top of the pie will be a dark golden brown; that is fine?it doesn?t mean the pie is overbaked.

  11. Give the pie a slight nudge; the filling should not move in waves, even at the center.

  12. Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool.

  13. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, OR cover with loosely tented foil and refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving.
