You won't need to visit Louisville - although it is a lively city with lots to see and so- to enjoy the Derby Pie that's on menus all over Kentucky. Named, of course after the Kentucky Derby, it's one of the food & drink item that is associated immediatley with this beautiful state ( along with Burgoo, Hot Brown Sandwiches and Mint Juleps). Visit Churchill Downs any time of year.
Derby Pie is dense and very rich, full of chocolate chips and nuts, so you'll be able to get 10 servings from it.
Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs til foamy. Add 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 c brown sugar, 1/2 c. flour. Blend well. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp vanilla, then blend in 1 cup butter, melted and cooled to room temperature. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 c. chopped nuts. Pour into an unbaked pie crust and bake for 60 minutes. Serve warm. topping with ice cream is almost too much but we do it anyway. Zap leftover pieces of pie for just a sec to warm up again.
