Vanilla Edible Bean Whipped Cream On Pecan Pie

Did you lot abide by how I titled this post? Vanilla Whipped Cream first, Pecan Pie second. It genuinely does bag the show. I'm non certain what it is near adding the Vanilla Beans to the whipped cream that makes it hence magical, but somehow it transforms it into tasting similar a cross betwixt homemade Vanilla Ice Cream as well as Whipped Cream. I used to instruct a cooking workshop every flavor as well as my students ever requested that I brand this to occur whatever dessert nosotros were making - every unmarried class. It is only dreamy.

The surreptitious cistron is 1 of my favorites as well as a staple inward my pantry - Vanilla Bean Paste ($12). It is the best bargain for an entire jounce of Vanilla Bean seeds (I believe the Pioneer Woman calls them vanilla caviar?) that are inward a thick Vanilla Syrup. I've only restocked it for the holidays - it makes such a smashing trivial gift... something they volition genuinely use. I've fifty-fifty been known to lay it inward my coffee...

I made these trivial Pecan Pies inward my Petite Tart Pans (that I'm also a trivial obsessed amongst - doing private breakfast quiches inward these side past times side calendar week to lay inward the freezer!) to mix it upward a trivial instead of the classic pie plate. They are the perfect size as well as proportion - particularly for those who are crusts lovers, correct Jill? The ratio for crust to filling is huge - addition they are deeper than they seem, giving a smashing total of pecan filling, too.

While I dear classic pies, sometimes nosotros demand a trivial alter of footstep for Thanksgiving that tin learn a trivial redundant. These also brand smashing trivial bitty pieces, if you lot desire to serve it inward quarters - everyone tin convey a tiny slice of each type of pie... isn't that what everyone asks for anyway?
