Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Pecans (halved or chopped)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Scatter the white chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Layer the pecans on top of the chocolate chips.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the corn syrup and brown sugar until smooth.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk the eggs into the warm sugar mixture to avoid scrambling.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until everything is evenly combined.
Carefully pour the mixture over the pecans and white chocolate in the pie crust, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any potential spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps the filling set properly.
Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
