Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pecans
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
¼ cup corn syrup
⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Place pecans into bottom of pie shell.
  • To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a boil; stir continuously for at least 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then slowly beat with a spoon until mixture starts to thicken; will take about 2 minutes. Be sure not to over beat or it will harden too much. Pour mixture into pie shell; cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Filling ingredients may be halved to make for a less rich pie.
  • To Make Topping: In a medium saucepan, cook chocolate and butter over low heat until melted together. Stir in condensed milk; mix well. Remove from heat; allow to cool just enough so that yolk won't cook when added, but not so cool that the chocolate hardens; cooling time will be about 3 minutes. Stir in egg yolk to chocolate mixture; spread over cooled filling. Place pie back in refrigerator and cool for another hour.

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice, plus
1 teaspoon lemon juice, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 bananas
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup maraschino cherry, well-drained
hot fudge

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place pie crust dough on a pizza baking sheet.
  • Press down firmly and stretch so that the crust laps a touch over the edge will shrink slightly.
  • Bake until slightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, by hand, mix milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice and vanilla together in bowl.
  • Chill.
  • Slice bananas and toss in remaining one teaspoon lemon juice so they don't turn brown on the pie.
  • Pour off excess lemon juice and set bananas aside.
  • Spread chilled milk mixture on cooled crust, leaving empty a 1/2 inch space from the edge (to look like a pizza).
  • Decorate the pie with banana slices, pineapple chunks, pecans and cherries.
  • Warm Hot Fudge Sauce and drizzle on top.
  • If you like, you can take a can of whipped cream and create slices.

Tips:

  • Use a sweet and juicy apple: This will help to create a flavorful and moist filling.
  • Add a bit of spice: A sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice can help to enhance the flavor of the filling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:
