How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftovers stored covered in the fridge for 4-6 days.

How Jiggly Should Pecan Pie Be?

This pie should be completely set and not jiggly when it is finished baking. If it is still jiggly you will have a runny pie mess on your hands! Bake pecan pie at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until set in the middle and does not jiggle.

Can You Freeze Pecan Pie?

Yes, you can freeze pecan pie! Follow the above recipe and instructions completely. Once the pie is baked, allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap a couple of times and then with foil making sure it is airtight - place in the freezer for up to 6 months. To enjoy, remove from the freezer and place in the fridge 24 hours before to thaw.

Instructions

Blind Bake Pie Crust

If you are making a homemade pie crust or using store-bought, it needs to be blind-baked beforehand.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place wax or parchment paper over the pie crust on the pie plate. Pour in baking beans or pie weights and evenly distribute around the shell.
Place in the oven for 15-16 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Pick up the edges of the wax or parchment paper and pour the beans into a mason jar. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

Pie Filling

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Combine all the ingredients except for pecans in a large bowl and whisk together until well-mixed.
Add the pecans to the mixture and store well until coated.
Pour the filling over the blind-baked pie crust.
Place in the oven for 40 minutes. Check at 35 minutes. Remove immediately after the center does not jiggle anymore.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy with homemade whipped cream.

Notes

Leftover pecan pie can be kept covered in the fridge for 4-6 days.
