Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust pre-made pie crust
- 1 3.4 oz box Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups pecans, chopped or halved
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, crimp the edges as desired, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix and milk until smooth and thickened. Set aside for later.
In a separate large bowl, combine the light corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Stir the prepared pudding mixture into the bowl with the corn syrup mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped or halved pecans to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. For best results, chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
