🛒 Ingredients
🥧 Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
🍯 Caramel Pecan Filling
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup heavy cream (room temp)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs (room temp)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups toasted pecans
🔥 Brûlée Topping
- ¼–⅓ cup granulated sugar (for torching)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Caramel
- In a saucepan, combine sugar + water over medium heat.
- Do NOT stir — swirl gently until it turns deep amber.
- Carefully whisk in heavy cream (it will bubble).
- Stir in butter + salt.
- Let cool 10–15 minutes.
2️⃣ Prepare Filling
- Whisk eggs + vanilla in a bowl.
- Slowly stream in slightly cooled caramel while whisking (don’t scramble the eggs).
- Fold in toasted pecans.
3️⃣ Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour filling into pie crust.
- Bake 40–50 minutes until center is slightly set but still jiggles gently.
- Cool completely, then chill at least 3 hours.
4️⃣ The Brûlée Magic ✨
- Sprinkle an even thin layer of sugar on top.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and glassy.
- Let sit 2–3 minutes to harden.
- Tap with a spoon for that crack 😍
💡 Pro Tips
- Toast pecans first (350°F for 5–7 minutes) for deeper flavor.
- Add 1 tbsp bourbon for Southern flair.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt after torching for salted caramel vibes.
