Years ago, I realized I had forgotten to get corn syrup for my pecan pie in the middle of baking for Thanksgiving. Flustered, I saw a can of condensed milk at the back of my pantry and decided to try it as a substitute. It was the best choice I ever made! Now I make pecan pie with condensed milk all of the time.
Ingredients
- Deep Dish Frozen Pie Shell (or make your own homemade pie recipe)
- Brown Sugar
- Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated milk, they're different!)
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Flour
- Pecans
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the pie shell on a baking sheet.
Step 2 - Mix: To a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and flour with an electric hand mixer. Then, fold in the pecans.
Step 3 - Bake: Pour the pie filling mixture into the pie shell (don't overfill) and bake on the middle rack uncovered for 25-30 minutes. It shouldn't jiggle much, but a slight jiggle is fine. Wait to slice until completely cooled and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional).
Storage and Leftovers
Store in the fridge covered with tin foil (once room temperature) and store for up to 3 weeks. If freezing, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
- A deep-dish pie shell is the best option for this recipe, but if you can't find one no worries! Just use a regular pie shell and avoid overfilling the pie.
- Consider toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling for an extra delicious and toasty flavour.
- This pie tastes best cold! So it's a great make-ahead/make the night before type dessert.
