How to Make Mock Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained.
  4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy. (If using a regular blender, work in batches to avoid overflowing.)
  5. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  6. Pour the batter into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
