KENTUCKY DERBY PIE

I haven’t made this pie for a long time, but had all the ingredients in the house for this special treat. The pie is in the oven! Although I have had this recipe for years, but don’t know exactly where I picked it up. I saw others had posted recipes similar or just like it.

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
½ cup (1 stick) butter (I use Imperial margarine)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
½ cup flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecan halves (I chop or break most in small pieces)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter, sugar, and eggs. Add vanilla. Gradually mix in flour. Stir in chocolate chip and pecans.
Pour into unbaked pie shell. Place on baking sheet. (I usually put foil around the edge of the crust.)
Bake for 30-45 minutes, until top is nicely browned. Remove from oven.
Let set at least 2 hours before serving.

Kentucky Derby Pie is really popular in KY, particularly around timing of the Kentucky Derby.

I actually like this recipe better. It is similar.

K&W Pecan Pie, aka German Chocolate Pie

1 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3 tbsp melted butter
2/3 cup milk
3/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Mix all together and pour into an unbaked pie shell. (Recipe doesn't specify size)

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

===========================

Here is a more traditional recipe:

KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM PIE also posted by KY_Kate
This is from the Kentucky Derby Museum Cookbook.
(It really from "Louavul," the native pronunciation of Louisville)

1 stick butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. flour
pinch of salt
2 T. Kentucky Bourbon (or 1 t. vanilla)
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. chocolate chips
1 9-inch pie shell, partially baked

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs, flour, salt, and Kentucky Bourbon (or vanilla). Add chocolate chips and
nuts. Stir well. Pour into partially baked pie shell and bake for 30 minutes, or until center is set. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I have not tried this recipe, but the reviews were great.

ERIC'S CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE - check the website below for pictures
http://www.cookingforengineers.com/article.php?id=19

Preheat oven to 375°F

4 Tbs. butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup maple syrup
6 oz. pecans
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1 pie crust (unbaked)

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg, mixing well.
Add maple syrup, and mix until smooth.
Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour into unbaked pie crust.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until set. A set filling should not move on the outside and jiggle on the inside (like Jell-O).

TASTE RESULTS:
The pie is not your traditional pecan pie. This pie is quite chocolatey and less sweet than pecan pies that I've had from bakeries (which I felt was overwhelmingly sweet). I brought the pie into work and it was gone before I knew it with people asking for seconds (but there was none to give out). So, maybe Eric's original recipe of two or three pies would have been better.

The general concensus was that the pie was very good and a welcome departure from the traditional pecan pie. The chocolate lover's especially liked the chocolate chips and some commented on the excellent flavor that the maple syrup introduced. I recommend trying this recipe!

KENTUCKY CHOCOLATE PIE posted by Margielou_wa

Kentucky Chocolate Pie. This delicious treat is served at Churchill Downs and at Kentucky Derby parties everywhere on Derby Day. The name Derby Pie was trademarked by a Kentucky family, so it can't be called that unless it is made by the Kern's Kitchen where it originated. 1/4 cup butter 1 cup sugar 3 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 3/4 cup light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup chopped pecans 2 tablespoons bourbon 1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell Cream butter, add sugar gradually while beating. Add beaten eggs, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips, nutes and bourbon until well mixed. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375 for 40 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to overbake.

Oooh! John has another variation:
