Description
Condensed Milk Pecan Pie combines a rich, creamy filling with toasted pecans and a flaky crust for a crowd-pleasing dessert that’s perfect for holidays or any sweet craving.
Ingredients
1 pie crust pastry (9-inch deep dish)
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups pecans (halves, pieces, or a mix)
Instructions
-
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Press it evenly across the bottom and sides, then refrigerate while preparing the filling.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Position a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom oven rack to catch any drips and help bake the crust evenly.
-
(Optional) Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant. This step enhances their flavor. Let them cool before using.
-
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour until well combined.
-
Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
-
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully blended.
-
Fold in the pecans until evenly coated, then pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
-
Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 25 minutes. Cover the edges of the pie with foil or a pie shield, then bake for another 10 minutes until the center is just slightly jiggly.
-
Cool the pie completely at room temperature. Once cool, transfer to the fridge to chill before serving.
Notes
Use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
Toasting pecans is optional but adds depth of flavor.
Chill the pie before slicing for clean cuts.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
