Celebrate Pi Day with this Kentucky Bourbon Chocolate Chip Tart from Just American Desserts

Eva Roberts started making this pie at the old Patsy Clark’s Restaurant in early 1980s, where, she said, “it was incredibly popular.”

Today, it’s a staple at her Just American Desserts bake shop, founded in 1986 and located in Spokane Valley.

“I even recently sent it to my son-in-law while he was deployed to the Middle East, and the troops loved it,” said she.

Plus, she said, “it shipped perfectly!”
