Momma Maglione's Pecan Pie W/Amaretto Whipped Cream
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 12 cup butter (1 stick) or 12 cup margarine (1 stick)
- 12 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 34 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 14 cup light corn syrup
- 14 cup light cream (try Hazelnut Coffee-mate for a tasty lactose free substitute)
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 14 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and heat water in a double boiler.
- Combine sugars and butter in the double boiler, stir and cook until butter is melted and sugars are mixed inches.
- Add the eggs one at a time quickly mixing with a wire whisk after each addition so they don't cook in the hot mixture.
- Add all the rest of the ingredients and cook in the double boiler for 5 minutes.
- Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake for 50-60 minutes.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the whipped cream.
- Whip the heavy cream and sugar in an electric mixer with a whisk attachment until it begins to thicken and you can see the waves in the cream from the whisk.
- Add the amaretto liquor and whip until stiff peaks form.
- (Tip: Put your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 5 minutes before using to help thicken the whipped cream faster).
- When pie is done, let cool and then serve topped with the amaretto whipped cream.
