Yes, pecan pie freezes easily. Allow the pie to completely cool for 2 hours. Then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

Freeze the pie up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, thaw the pie overnight in the fridge. This is the perfect way to enjoy pecan pie later when the craving strikes.

Tips for the best pecan pie recipe with karo syrup:

  • Use an instant read thermometer. This is the best trick to cooking the pie perfectly every time. Simply insert the thermometer into the center and when it reaches 200 degrees, you know it’s time to come out of the oven.
  • Cover the Pie Shell. Check on the pie shell while the pie bakes. If it starts to brown before the pie is ready, cover the pie shell with foil.
  • You don’t need added fillers. Some recipes call for extra ingredients such as flour or cornstarch to ensure the filling is thick. However, if you bake the pie following the instructions, it is not needed and will be perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know when a pecan pie is set?

The pie is set when the center of the pie reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees. It will completely set in a couple of hours after you take it out of the oven.

Should you use light or dark corn syrup?

Light corn syrup gives the pie a lighter appearance and a lighter flavor. Dark corn syrup gives the pie a darker appearance as well as deeper caramelized flavor.

What type of pie crust is best for Pecan Pie?

Pecan pie is best in a traditional butter or shortening pie crust. We do not recommend using a graham cracker crust. It will not hold up to the filling.

Why do you put corn syrup in pecan pie?

It gives the pie a smooth texture and prevents the sugar from crystalizing. The taste and texture combine to make a great pie recipe.

Why did the pie expand?

Baking the pie at too high of a heat can cause the pie to expand and seep through the crust. It is important to bake at the recommend temperature of 350 degrees.
