Categories: Pies, Pastry, Desserts, Nuts, Dairy
Yield: 6 servings

MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
Cooking spray
1 3/4 c Chopped pecans
3 tb Softened, unsalted butter
3 tb Light brown sugar
1/4 ts Salt (opt)

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
1 c Brown sugar
2 tb Cornstarch
2 tb A-P flour
2 tb Butter
1/4 ts Salt
2 Egg yolks; beaten
3/4 c Sweetened condensed milk
+=BLENDED WITH=+
3/4 c Water
1 tb Vanilla extract
Whipped cream

Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

Spray a 9" pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Mix
together the chopped pecans, softened butter, brown
sugar and salt using a fork in a medium bowl. Press the
mixture into the pie plate evenly over the bottom and up
the sides.

Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until the nuts are
browned and fragrant. Move the pie pan to a cooling
rack.

Mix together the brown sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt
in a double boiler, then add the butter. Bring water in
the bottom pan to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir
the ingredients in the top pan until they’re combined.

Slowly whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and water
mixture. Whisk in the egg yolks, working quickly so they
don’t scramble (this is called tempering eggs). Stir the
pudding mixture constantly until it’s smooth and thick
enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla
extract.

Pour the pudding mixture into the baked pie crust. Bake
it for 15 minutes at 300ºF until the filling is warmed
through and firm. Remove the pie to a cooling rack.

The pecans from your crust may float up into the filling
and end up on top. That’s OK-the end result is still
delicious.

Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, cover it
and chill it for several hours or overnight. Serve
slices of the chilled pie plain or all Dolly-ed up with
whipped cream.
