To begin whisk together 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.
You can do this in a mixing bowl, or like I am doing here – your food processor. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter that has been cut into pieces.
Use a pastry blender in the bowl. If using the food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times. Sprinkle in 5 tablespoons of ice water. Stir to combine, or pulse the processor until mixed.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Roll out the dough and place in a 10 inch tart pan. Tuck and crimp the edges. Set it aside for a moment.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir them together.
Add in 3 eggs, 1/3 cup sweetened, condensed milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Whisk them together.
Add in 2 tablespoons of bourbon, 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1 1/4 cup of pecan halves. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 27-30 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the center is almost set.
Cool it for 3 or more hours on a cooling rack.
Cut into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if you desire.
Enjoy!
