Ingredients
Crust
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup round cracker crumbs (like Ritz)
1 cup pecans, chopped
Filling
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ cup pecans
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Beat the egg whites until foaming. Add in the sugar a little at a time, mixing in between. Add in vanilla.
- Beat until soft peaks form.
- Using a food processor, crush up the cracker crumbs.
- Add cracker crumbs and 1 cup chopped pecans to the meringue and carefully fold together.
- Pour into the pie pan and spread out with the back of a spoon, pulling the meringue up along the sides of the pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling, mix the heavy cream, sugar, and extracts in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whip with a hand-held mixer until thick. Spoon into the cold pie shell, and then sprinkle ½ cup of pecans around the outside edges of the cream.
- Top with whipped cream.
Makes 8 servings.
Okay, what do you think? Doesn’t this pie look absolutely amazing? I can’t wait to make and serve it this holiday!
