Chocolate Chip Bacon Pie
Treat your family and friends with this chocolate chip bacon pie. I baked it to celebrate Pi Day, but you can make it anytime you feel want!
Ingredients
- 5 oz pie dough (½ package of store bought)
- 2 strips cooked bacon strips (chopped as bacon bits)
- 8 strips uncooked bacon strips (the leaner/thicker the better)
- ½ cup regular sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsps unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Fit in store-bought pie dough to a 6-in dish (I sliced in half a regular pie dough package and rolled it again so it fit a smaller dish). Cook at 400F for 10 mins. Let it cool.
- Make pie filling: beat egg until foamy and then add brown sugar, regular sugar, flour, vanilla extract, room temperature butter and mix well. Stir in nuts, chocolate chips and bacon bits.
- Cook the strips of bacon halfway through: 8 min on a 400F pre-heated oven. Dab excess fat with paper towels.
- Fill pie dish with filling.
- Create a bacon lattice on top of the filling (see video for steps) and tuck the strips in the sides. Cut them a bit if they're too long.
- Bake at 350 F for 35 mins.
- Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before eating.
Notes
For extra flavor: spread a bit of maple syrup on top of the bacon lattice, 5 minutes before the pie is done!
This recipe fills a 6-inch pie dish, enough for four small servings.
