I already have two good recipes but neither includes a homemade crust. Not that that&#8217;s a huge deal because the filling is the star of Derby style pie, but I wanted to go the extra mile and made a new Kentucky Derby Day pie \u2014 this time with a quick, buttery homemade crust made from cream cheese, butter, and flour.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-od-removed-fetchpriority=\"high\" data-od-replaced-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='site-container']\/*[5][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::MAIN]\/*[2][self::ARTICLE]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[3][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1636\" sizes=\"auto, (782px &lt; width) 728px, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" alt=\"Kentucky Derby Day Pie also known as Race Day Pie with bourbon, walnuts and chocolate chips plus a homemade crust.\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-751x1024.jpg 751w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-768x1047.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-1127x1536.jpg 1127w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-720x982.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-360x491.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-whole-180x245.jpg 180w\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cream-cheese-and-butter-crust\">Cream Cheese and Butter Crust<\/h2>\n<p>The crust for this pie is a little different from a traditional pastry crust. It\u2019s soft and easy to work with \u2014 more like a European-style cookie dough than a flaky pie dough. Instead of cutting in cold butter, you simply mix everything together with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. No pastry mat, no extra flour needed. Just roll the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, fit it into the pie plate, crimp, and give it a quick chill to help relax the gluten before baking. Here&#8217;s what it looks like unbaked and filled.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-od-replaced-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='site-container']\/*[5][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::MAIN]\/*[2][self::ARTICLE]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[6][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" sizes=\"auto, (782px &lt; width) 728px, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" alt=\"Unbaked Kentucky Derby Pie in a cream cheese and butter crust.\" class=\"wp-image-102929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/derby-pie-unbaked-180x240.jpg 180w\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kentucky-derby-day-pie-filling\">Kentucky Derby Day Pie Filling<\/h2>\n<p>The filling is everything you\u2019d want in a Kentucky Derby Pie \u2014 rich, gooey, and loaded with chocolate and pecans. It\u2019s a simple mixture of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, with a splash of vanilla for good measure. The chocolate chips melt into puddles while the nuts stay toasty and crunchy. Paired with the tender, buttery crust, every bite feels a little extra special and just right for a big day like the Derby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-od-replaced-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='site-container']\/*[5][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::MAIN]\/*[2][self::ARTICLE]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[9][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" sizes=\"auto, (782px &lt; width) 728px, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" alt=\"Chocolate Chip, Bourbon, Walnut Pie for Race Day.\" class=\"wp-image-103273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kentucky-derby-day-pie-slice-180x240.jpg 180w\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bourbon\">Bourbon<\/h2>\n<p>You can keep it light with just a tablespoon of bourbon, or be a little more generous if the mood strikes. Most of the people I know will already have a Mint Julep in hand, so there\u2019s really no need to go wild with the bourbon in the pie. But if you feel like throwing caution to the wind, I say go for it. It\u2019s Derby Day, after all.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-way-to-serve\">Best Way to Serve<\/h2>\n<p>This pie can be served gooey, as in the photos, or solidified for more of a chunky feel. It seems like people love gooey things, but my preference is to bake the pie, chill or freeze and then cut so that it&#8217;s more cookie like and firm.   One advantage to serving it warm the day of the race is that if you are having a Derby party, you can make it a few hours earlier and your house will sell like melted chocolate, nuts and bourbon.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"feast-recipe-heading\">Recipe<\/h2>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-102922\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"102922\" data-servings=\"8\">\n<div
