Description
Condensed Milk Pecan Pie is a rich and indulgent twist on the classic pecan pie, made with sweetened condensed milk for a creamy texture and deep, caramel-like sweetness that complements the crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups pecan halves
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, corn syrup, flour, and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the mixture.
- Pour the pecan filling into the pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and slightly puffed, and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving, allowing the filling to firm up.
Notes
- Store leftover pecan pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Reheat by placing a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or warming the entire pie in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes.
- You can make this pie ahead of time, storing it at room temperature or refrigerating it.
- Pecan pie can be frozen by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
- If the pie crust starts to burn, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield while baking.
- Dark corn syrup can be used instead of light corn syrup for a more robust flavor.
- You can use a gluten-free pie crust if needed.
- Honey can replace corn syrup, but it will alter the flavor and texture slightly.
