How to make Dulce de Leche Pecan Pie Recipe
Making this dulce de leche pie couldn’t be easier! All you gotta do is whisk everything together and transfer to a partially baked pie crust. Then top with the nuts and bake til perfection! Here’s the rundown:
Can I use frozen pie crust?
You certainly can. While I’m a huge advocate for homemade pie crust – even though that’s certainly not my forte -, sometimes the convenience of grabbing something ready to go beats the flavor and texture of the homemade stuff. Just make sure to buy the deep dish kind so you can fit all the filling in it.
How long does this pie last?
This dulce de leche pie lasts around 3-4 days in the fridge, in an airtight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap.
Can I freeze Dulce de Leche Pecan Pie?
Yes! This pie can be frozen for up to 1 month. Make sure the pie is completely cooled before freezing. Then wrap, tightly sealing it in several layers of plastic wrap to protect against freezer burn. You can even follow up with a layer of foil. When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge overnight. Don’t attempt to thaw at room temperature or the crust might get soggy.
How to serve dulce de leche pecan pie
This pie is easier to slice if it has been refrigerated for at least one hour. You can serve it cold or wait for it to get to room temperature before serving! Drizzling with warm dulce de leche and topping with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream is a must. Enjoy!
