**My Best Favorite Pecan Cream Pie**
**Yields:** 8 servings
**Prep time:** 20 minutes
**Bake time:** 35-40 minutes
**Ingredients:**
-
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
-
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
* 1/3 cup powdered sugar
-
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
-
* 2 large eggs
-
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
* 1 cup chopped pecans
-
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
**Instructions:**
-
**Preheat & Prepare:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
-
2. **Whip the Cream:** In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
3. **Make the Filling:** In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans and melted butter until everything is evenly distributed.
-
4. **Combine:** Gently fold about half of the whipped cream mixture into the pecan filling to lighten it. Then, carefully fold the remaining whipped cream into the pecan mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
5. **Fill & Bake:** Pour the pecan cream filling into the unbaked pie crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The crust should be golden brown.
-
6. **Cool & Chill:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the pie to set up properly and the flavors to meld.
-
7. **Serve:** Slice and enjoy this incredibly decadent pecan cream pie! It’s delicious on its own or with an extra dollop of whipped cream.
