Preparation Steps

• Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pecan halves, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, bourbon, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk in the beaten eggs until well combined.
• Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
