Time 30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/3 cups water, plus
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup egg whites, room temperature or 1/3 cup pasteurized egg white
1/4 cup granulated sugar
pie crust, baked and cooled
1/2 pint whipping cream, chilled
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spread nuts on a baking sheet to toast. Bake at 250 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until the nuts barely begin to brown. Cool.
  • Combine brown sugar and 11/3 cups plus 2 Tablespoons water. Bring to a boil.
  • Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup water and stirring with a whisk, pour into the boiling brown sugar mixture. Stir constantly and cook until the mixture becomes clear and is the consistency of a thick pudding. Remove mixture from heat.
  • Whip egg whites at high speed with mixer until peaks form. Slowly add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until peaks are stiff. Reduce mixer speed to low and gently add the hot pudding-like mixture and the toasted nuts. As soon as everything is blended, turn off mixture. Do not overmix.
  • Pile filling lightly into baked pie shells.
  • Whip cream until stiff. Add vanilla. Divide the whipped cream and spread over both pies. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
  • Pies are best served the same day they are made.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but I really enjoyed this chiffon version. It's much lighter and less cloying than traditional pecan pie.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The chiffon topping was a bit too runny, and the crust was a bit too dry.
