French pecan pie is a dessert that combines tradition and flavor in every bite. This type of pie has its roots in French pastry, where pecans, although more common in North America, were incorporated to give it an original and delicious touch. In different Latin American countries, this dessert may be known by different names or variations; for example, in Mexico and Argentina it is often called "pecan pie," while in other places like Chile or Colombia it might simply be identified as a nut pie. Despite this, the French influence in the preparation and presentation remains a distinctive feature of this recipe.
