Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
20 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), coarsely crumbled
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint heavy cream
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and baking powder, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  • Fold crackers and pecans into the egg whites. Add vanilla and stir.
  • Bake pie in preheated oven until set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream with pinch sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream will form sharp peaks. Top cooled pie with whipped cream to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality pecans. Fresh, plump pecans will give your pie the best flavor. Avoid using pecans that are dry or shriveled.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a combination of light and dark brown sugar. This will give your pie a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.
