Goya Foods' Pecan Dulce de Leche Pie
It’s pie season, and what better way to kick it off than a twist on a classic pecan! Inspired by the Latin American milk-based caramel sauce dulce de leche, Goya Foods Executive Chef Fernando Desa gives us the step-by-step instructions on how to make this easy dessert in under an hour!
Ingredients
- 1 package GOYA® Maria Cookies 7 ounces
- ½ cup butter melted, 1 stick
- 1½ cups GOYA® Dulce de Leche – Milk Caramel Spread-Squeeze 14-ounce squeeze bottle
- 1 can GOYA® Evaporated Milk 12 ounces
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole pecans
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh whipped cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place cookies in bowl of food processor. Pulse 30 seconds, or until finely ground. Or place cookies in zip-top bag and, using the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound cookies until finely crushed. Transfer cookie crumbs to bowl—there should be about 2 cups. Add butter, stirring until combined. Transfer cookie mixture to 9-inch pie dish. Using fingers, press cookie mixture evenly into bottom and sides of dish. Bake until firm and fragrant, 7-10 minutes; cool.
- Raise oven’s heat to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together dulce de leche, evaporated milk, eggs, pecans, and salt until combined.
- Pour dulce de leche mixture into premade crust. Place pie on large cookie sheet and bake for about 40 minutes (until center of pie is set).
- Let pie cool and refrigerate 2 hours before serving. Serve topped with fresh whipped cream, if desired.
