BASIC KENTUCKY CHOCOLATE WALNUT PIE



Basic Kentucky Chocolate Walnut Pie image

Now, this is the 1st recorded, BASIC Kentucky Derby Day Pie from Southern Indiana. Just across the river from Louisville, KY, where the Kentucky Derby made this pie famous! (We can't call it by it's original name here because of trademark/copyright issues, but this is the original Derby Day pie recipe.) I must be honest with you, that ever since this "famous 1st recipe" was used, there have been several other (MODIFIED) versions of this wonderful dessert...Most of them include some sort of Kentucky Bourbon!!! In my opinion, the ones that include that KY Bourbon are the best, but I wanted to share with you the ORIGINAL pie (from the 1920's)...Just FYI...

Categories     dessert

Time 4h40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons bourbon
Ice water, as needed
1 cup coarsely chopped walnut halves
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup light corn syrup2 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup hot water
1 teaspoon baking soda
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Pulse the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor until combined. Add half of the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and continue pulsing until it is the size of small peas. Add the bourbon and pulse until moistened. Pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water, a bit at a time, until the dough just comes together and holds its shape when squeezed. Turn the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, gather into a disc and wrap well. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a lightly-floured surface to an 11-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges. Chill to set the crust, 20 minutes.
  • 3. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Fit the crust with aluminum foil and weigh it down with pie weights or dry beans. Bake until the edge of the crust is just golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is lightly golden and no longer shiny, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool completely.
  • 1. Pour the walnuts and chocolate into the bottom of the cooled crust. Combine the sugar, flour, butter and salt in a small bowl until smooth and set aside. Lightly whisk together the corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Stir together the hot water and baking soda before whisking into the egg mixture. Stir in the flour mixture and then pour over the nuts and chocolate. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is just set, about 45 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

FANNIE LOU'S DERBY PIE



Fannie Lou's Derby Pie image

The Kentucky Derby is a two-minute horse race, but its cultural impacts are long-lasting, including a rich culinary tradition of mint juleps, hot browns and Derby pie. Only Kern's Kitchen Inc. can make a true "Derby-Pie" - the creators of the dessert trademarked the term before partnering with the Kentucky Derby Festival - but while the naming practices are sticky, the concept is universal: a chocolate-chip and walnut-laden batter baked in a pie crust. This version is adapted from author ZZ Packer, who shared her great-aunt's recipe. Many versions exist - some spike the batter with bourbon; others swap in varying nuts or crown the pie with whipped cream - but Fannie Lou's is easy to assemble, and makes a lasting impression.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (see recipe)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semisweet-chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Transfer the crust to a pie plate and prick the bottom with a fork. Cover lightly with a sheet of foil, pressing it gently into the crust and making sure the edges are covered. Place weights (metal pie weights or dried beans) on the foil to weigh down the bottom and hold up the sides of the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil. Continue baking until the crust is firm and has lost its sheen but is not browned, about 5 more minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Add the brown sugar and flour and stir until thoroughly blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the crust. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and place on a rack to cool. Serve warm.
