CARAMEL PECAN PIE



Caramel Pecan Pie image

This is hands down the best pecan pie-it's so good, it's scary! I'm making it for Thanksgiving because there will be others around to share it with me. Here's the trick: Toss the bag of caramels to your kid or spouse and promise they can eat whatever is left after they unwrap your 36 caramels. -Larry Crowder, Grand Blanc, Michigan

FRENCH SILK PIE



French Silk Pie image

Delicious, creamy, and decadent French silk pie! This recipe is unique since it requires the eggs to be cooked rather than a traditional French silk pie recipe that uses raw eggs. To make things easier, use a frozen store-bought deep-dish pie crust! Garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate curls. Cover remaining pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Time 2h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg, beaten
1 (9 inch) frozen deep-dish pie crust, thawed
⅔ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
⅓ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Brush beaten egg over all surfaces of pie crust, including edges. Prick holes into the bottom and sides of the crust using a fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine sugar and 2 eggs in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously, adjusting heat as needed to make sure mixture does not boil or bubble, until it coats the back of a spoon and an instant-read thermometer reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
  • Remove mixture from heat and stir in melted chocolate and vanilla extract; allow to cool to lukewarm temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Beat butter in a separate large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add chocolate mixture and continue to beat on high speed until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until slightly thick. Add powdered sugar all at once and continue to beat on medium to medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture, stirring very gently as to not decrease the volume by stirring too much. Pour into the prepared pie crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
