White Chocolate Pecan Pie

By , About.com Guide

This wonderful pie is super easy and quick to make. Serve it frozen in the summertime.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 9" pie shell
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 7 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation:

Prepare a pie crust and place it in a 9" pie pan or a 10" tart pan. Blind bake the crust until golden brown. Cool completely.

Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in pecans and cook until nuts are golden brown, about 6 minutes, stirring constantly. The nuts can burn very quickly, so make sure that you watch carefully. Cool completely.

In small heavy saucepan, melt white chocolate chips in 5 tablespoons milk over low heat. Cool to room temperature. In another small heavy saucepan, melt semisweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons milk, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

In large bowl, beat whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Remove 1/2 cup whipped cream and place in saucepan with cooled semisweet chocolate.

Fold 1-1/2 cups cooled pecans and cooled white chocolate chip mixture into whipped cream in bowl. Fold together remaining 1/2 cup pecans, the 1/2 cup whipped cream, and semisweet chocolate mixture in saucepan.

Spoon the semisweet chocolate mixture into cooled crust and smooth. Top with white chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. May also be frozen and served frozen; remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving to make slicing easier. Serves 8-10
