Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 ounce white chocolate bar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well blended.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the melted white chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, and salt until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Fold in the pecan halves and sliced almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is just set in the center. The pie should puff up slightly and be golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
Optional: Use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of the white chocolate bar on top of the cooled pie for garnish.
Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
