Kentucky Derby 2010 Recipe Contenders: Mint Julep Recipe, Kentucky Derby Pie

What are the odds you can get to Churchill Downs for a Kentucky Derby Party? Have your own Kentucky Derby Party with these recipes.  I didn't know this, but Bobby Flay has his own race horses, plus, he has a mean Mint Julep Recipe! Then again, Food Network's Emeril Lagasse has his own awesome version of Kentucky Derby Pie that's to-die-for!

BEST Kentucky Derby Pie Recipe
My own version, made with blood, sweat and tears, and some major love! Seriously, we made these Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pies for years at the bakery. Way too good and very rich. Just what you want for tomorrow's race with a tall icy Mint Julep!

Emeril Lagasse's Gold Brick Chocolate Pecan Pie - This recipe sounds pretty similar to my Kentucky Derby Pie. However, his does include edible gold leaf. Not sure if you want to include this or not. Looks pretty, but probably over-the-top expensive too!

Bobby Flay's Mint Julep Recipe - So easy to make Kentucky Derby Mint Juleps made with just a few ingredients. Course, the best Bourbon Whiskey and fresh mint leaves are a must for this race day special.

I lived in Louisville for a time but never got into the horse racing thing. But Chocolate Pecan Pie, it is a beautiful thing.

Saw you are mentioning Memorial Day recipes. Blueberry fruit season is coming up.

I love the pie, but the mint julep will suit me just fine. It really is great.

The chocolate pecan pie is the best. My wife made me one from your recipe. I never know what I am going to get of the internet

I love spring and yet, it feels like a very long time before it will get here. I am not going to wait to eat all of these fun treats until then, I am going to make them for the Christmas holidays. You always have wonderful recipes and I can not wait to share them with my friends.
