This pie. It’s crunchy, filled with chocolate chunks, pecans, a buttery crust and just a splash of whiskey. Because why shouldn’t pie have a bit of whiskey in it?

Kentucky Derby Pie is ready to eat with a scoop of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings - fancy hats not included. Use my pie crust recipe for the best pie crust ever made. Ever.
