Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw cashews (unsalted)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 9-inch crust Pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Spread the cashews evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, light corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugars are dissolved and the butter is melted. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Gradually mix in the cooled sugar mixture.
Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges if necessary.
Spread the toasted cashews evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture gently over the cashews, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top has a rich golden hue. The center should slightly jiggle but not be liquidy.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the filling fully set.
Slice and serve the Golden Cashew Pie on its own or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
