If we had to pick the most popular Southern American dessert, pecan pie would definitely be in the top three. Its crunchy texture and sweet, nutty flavor are impossible to resist, and we’re here to make sure your pie is as mouth-watering as it gets with these three useful tips.
Chop Your Pecans
Whenever we see a photo of a pecan pie, pecan halves are usually used for decoration, but they should only be used as a topping in this form. Chopping your pecans before using them in your pie is a must because they’ll be much more delicious and easier to slice this way.
Mix Things Up
Pecan pie is such a popular dessert that many variations emerged over the years, and you can easily modify the classic recipe to your liking. Maple pecan pie is definitely the most popular variation, but you can also add chocolate chips or cocoa butter to the mix to make your pie sweeter or replace maple syrup with molasses or honey.
Extra Toppings
You don’t need any toppings to make your pecan pie taste delicious, but you won’t make a mistake if you add them to the mix. Whipped cream is the most obvious choice, but using a hard sauce or some vanilla ice cream instead is also an option.
