Pecan Cream Pie: A Decadent Southern Delight

Pecan Cream Pie is the perfect blend of creamy, nutty, and sweet, offering a luxurious dessert that’s ideal for special occasions or simply satisfying your sweet tooth. With a buttery crust, velvety custard, and a layer of toasted pecans, this pie is both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious. Here’s a detailed guide to making it from scratch.

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
• 3–4 tablespoons ice water

For the Cream Filling:

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ cups whole milk
• 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• 1 cup pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• Optional: whipped cream for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
2. Add the cold butter cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to hold together. Avoid overworking it.
4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough gently into the pan and trim the edges.
7. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
