Title: Heavenly Pecan Cream Pie Recipe
As the autumn breeze whispered through the trees, Sarah found herself drawn to the warmth of her kitchen. It was pie-making season, and there was no better way to celebrate the harvest than with her beloved pecan cream pie. With a twinkle in her eye and a flutter of excitement in her heart, she began gathering the ingredients for this decadent dessert.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
To make the crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated.
Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges loosely with aluminum foil.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. While the pie cools, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Serve slices of the pecan cream pie with generous dollops of whipped cream on top. Enjoy the rich, nutty flavor and velvety texture of this irresistible autumn dessert.
With each forkful of pecan cream pie, you’ll savor the perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors, making it the ultimate indulgence for any occasion.
