How to Make Creole Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Blind bake the chilled pie crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove weights and parchment paper. Bake for another 5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and evaporated milk until fully combined.
- Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Fold in the pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack (at least 4 hours or preferably overnight) before serving.
- Serve chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cup of coffee.
