Description
Brownie Pecan Pie is a decadent dessert that combines a rich, fudgy brownie base with a gooey, nutty pecan pie topping for the ultimate indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the package: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch pie dish or deep tart pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until mostly set but still slightly soft in the center.
- While the brownie base is baking, prepare the pecan pie topping. In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in pecans.
- Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked brownie base, spreading evenly.
- Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, toast pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
- This dessert can be served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute maple syrup for corn syrup for a slightly different flavor.
