CHOCOLATE-WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and fine salt in a food processor until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until incorporated. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon ice water in a small bowl; add to the food processor and pulse once or twice to moisten the flour. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, then fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Make the filling: Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside. Return the empty baking sheet to the lower oven rack. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until foamy and golden brown, about 5 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, liqueur and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the browned butter until smooth.
• Scatter half each of the walnuts and chocolate in the prepared crust. Pour in the filling, then top with the remaining walnuts and chocolate. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheetin the oven. Bake until the crust is golden and the nuts have browned, about 30 minutes. Cover the pie loosely with foil; continue baking until the filling is set and the center is slightly puffed, 25 to 30 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT KENTUCKY PIE

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.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until it looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse a few times until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon ice water; pulse until the dough starts coming together but is still crumbly, adding 1 more tablespoon ice water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the filling into the crust. Carefully place the pie plate on the hot baking sheet in the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F.
