FAQ's

Things to know

  • Use softened butter to grease your pie plate for this recipe. If you don't have butter, you can use vegetable shortening to prepare your pie plate.
  • If you have whole pecans or pecan halves you will want to chop them. If you are using chopped pecans or pecan pieces there is no need to.
  • You can make this recipe ahead of time and store it in the fridge overnight.
  • There is no need to make your own crust for this recipe, the Bisquick will do the work for you.
  • Top this pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it extra special.

Pro Tip: Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl. That way if there's a shell in egg it's much easier to get out!

Variations for Impossible Pecan Pie

  • Instead of pecans, you could use chopped walnuts.
  • If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can whip up your own homemade Bisquick.
  • I used dark corn syrup in this recipe, but if you have light corn syrup that can be used as well.
  • Finish with hot butterscotch and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, mmm!!!

Storage

Refrigerate - Cool to room temperature. Store leftover pie in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or foil.

Freezer - You can freeze Impossible Pecan Pie. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and then aluminum foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Reheat - If you prefer your pecan pie warm, heat it up in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.

This Impossible Pecan Pie is a sweet twist on this classic holiday dessert. A biscuit-based topping.

Notes

You can use a hand blender to mix the ingredients, but I prefer the blender as it's easier to pour the batter into the pie tin.
The top puffs up when it bakes, but as it cools, it will settle.
If the top is browning too quickly cover it loosely with foil for the remainder of baking time.
