French pecan pie

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.

How to Make French Pecan Pie

To begin this delicious recipe, beat the egg whites until they are firm but not dry.

Add the sugar gradually, making sure to incorporate each portion well.

Add the vanilla, broken Ritz crackers, and pecans, mixing carefully to distribute the ingredients.

Bake in a greased 10-inch pie pan for 30 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once baked, let the pie cool completely before continuing.

Top the pie with sweet whipped cream, which will give it a smooth and creamy texture.

Finally, garnish with grated German chocolate to add an elegant touch and a contrast of flavors.
