Ingredients:
For the Pie Filling:
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons of Turbo Java Coffee Co.'s finely ground coffee (try our Pecan Pie flavored coffee)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of brewed Turbo Java Coffee Co. coffee
- 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set it aside.
- Prepare the Coffee Infusion: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of finely ground Turbo Java Coffee Co. coffee with 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Strain the coffee to remove the grounds, leaving you with a strong coffee infusion.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 1/4 cup of the coffee infusion you prepared in step 3. Reserve the rest for the glaze.
- Add the Pecans: Gently fold in the pecan halves into the filling mixture.
- Pour into Pie Crust: Pour the pecan pie filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set, and the center is slightly firm.
- Prepare the Coffee Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of brewed Turbo Java Coffee Co. coffee (room temperature), and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until you achieve a smooth glaze.
- Glaze the Pie: Once the pie has cooled slightly, drizzle the coffee glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice your Coffee-Glazed Pecan Pie and serve it with a hot cup of Turbo Java Coffee Co. coffee. It's the perfect ending to your Thanksgiving feast!
