How to Make the Best Toffee Crunch Pecan Pie Recipe

During the holiday season plan to serve this Toffee Crunch Pecan Pie for a flawless finish to your special celebrations. You’ll be so happy you did. Regardless of  how you serve it, with this Toffee Crunch Pecan Pie just can’t go wrong.

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Toffee Crunch Pecan Pie: A 9 inch deep dish pie crust, pecan halves, light brown sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter and toffee bits.
  • To make the Chantilly Cream you’ll need: Heavy cream, vanilla extract or bourbon, powdered sugar.
  • Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A deep dish pie pan, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a large spoon for mixing everything together and a mixer to make the Chantilly cream.
  • What is Chantilly Cream? It’s a rather whimsical name for homemade sweetened whipped cream. You can use either vanilla extract or bourbon in this recipe depending on your personal preference.
  • How do you make Pecan Pie? After fitting a crust into the pie pan, mix together the syrup, eggs, melted butter vanilla, brown sugar and pecans. Pour the filling evenly into the crust and bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set when gently shaken.
  • If you’d like to make your own crust checkout my Flaky Pie Crust recipe here.
  • Check the top and edges of the crust halfway through baking and lay a piece of aluminum foil on top to prevent over browning.
  • The basis of the smooth pie filling for this pecan pie is made with Karo Syrup. When making pecan pies, some bakers prefer to use light corn syrup and some dark. You can use either in this recipe but I recommend using light corn syrup. Either way it’s certain to be insanely good.
  • The addition of brown sugar to the light corn syrup in this variation turns it into a toffee lovers dream and it’s my preferred way to make the filling with or without toffee bits.
  • Chantilly cream is the ideal topping and the whimsical name does roll off the tongue more smoothly than fresh whipped cream doesn’t it?
  • Store Toffee Crunch Pecan Pie chilled or at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    1. I’ve never tested this in mini tart size so I would be guessing. Likely enough filling for 6-8 mini pies.

  1. I’m SO making this for Thanksgiving; 2 questions though.
    1: what pie crust did you use?
    2. Do any of the pershiables need to be at room temp first?

    1. For this pie I actually rolled together 2 refrigerated pie crusts.(One whole box) Tuck the edges under and crimp. A deep dish frozen pie shell would also work, no need to thaw first. I didn’t bring the eggs to room temperature prior to whipping up the filling. Btw, this is my favorite pecan pie…oh that filling!

  2. I love how you send out emails that are just a hint of what is on your post rather than the entire thing. I so wish others would do this as well. Thank you for being so considerate. Your recipes look outstanding!
