To make this Cocktail Pecan Pie Currant Paradise, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried currants
To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
To make the filling, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir in the pecans and currants. Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
This Cocktail Pecan Pie Currant Paradise is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is rich and nutty with a hint of tartness from the currants. This dish is best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
