White Chocolate Pecan Pie
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Servings: 1 9-inch pie
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 6 oz white chocolate baking squares, chopped
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 9-inch pie shell
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9-inch pie shell by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
-
Melt and Mix: In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and light corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture cool slightly.
-
Add Flavor: Once the mixture has cooled a bit, stir in the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Fill the Pie Shell: Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie shell, spreading it evenly.
-
Add White Chocolate: Sprinkle about two-thirds of the chopped white chocolate over the top of the pecan mixture in the pie shell.
-
Arrange Pecan Halves: Arrange the pecan halves on top of the pie, pressing them lightly into the filling.
-
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set. To prevent over-browning, cover the pie with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
-
Drizzle with White Chocolate: While the pie is cooling, melt the remaining white chocolate. Place it in a small, heavy-duty zip-lock bag and seal it tightly. Submerge the sealed bag in hot water until the chocolate melts completely. Snip a small hole in one corner of the bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pie in a decorative pattern.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate drizzle has set, slice the pie into wedges and serve. Enjoy this decadent White Chocolate Pecan Pie with your favorite whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat!
This indulgent dessert combines the rich flavors of white chocolate and pecans in a deliciously gooey filling, all nestled in a buttery pie crust. Perfect for holiday gatherings, weeknight indulgences, or any time you’re craving something sweet and satisfying. 🥧✨
