**Kahlua Pecan Pie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 3 eggs
– 1 cup light corn syrup
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup Kahlua
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the unbaked pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the crust.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the Kahlua to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
5. Carefully pour the filling over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and to make it easier to move in and out of the oven.
7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set. You can check for doneness by gently jiggling the pie – it should have a slight wobble in the center but be firm overall.
8. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For an extra touch, serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
