Chocolate Pecan Pie with Bourbon
David Leibovitz’s Chocolate Pecan Pie with Bourbon is everything you want in a easy holiday dessert. The all-butter piecrust is a cinch to throw together thanks to your food processor, and the dough can be made weeks or months in advance and frozen, if you’d like to get ahead. A nip of sweet, caramel-scented bourbon adds depth to the traditional super-sweet filling; chocolate levels it up with its rich texture and just a hint of balancing bitterness. Leave some of the pecans whole to give this classic Thanksgiving pie a slightly more refined look, and serve it next to your favorite pumpkin pie.
Bourbon-Pecan Pie

The supereasy press-in crust means you don’t even need a rolling pin. Slideshow: More Thanksgiving Pecan Pie Recipes
