Salted Caramel Pecan Pie (Gluten Free) | Rebel Recipes (2)

I’m laid up on the sofa at the moment after twisting my ankle running in a 10k race yesterday–it’s really hard for me to sit still and the thought of not being able to exercise for a while is stressful for me!

On the upside, it means I’ve got time to write up this recipe–and it’s a goodie!

Ok, so this is a bit of a decadently indulgent dessert for me, but you when you’ve been thinking about something for a while.. Namely salted caramel–I just had to create a salted caramel dessert.

So here it is, my salted caramel pecan pie.. A gorgeous crust made from pecans, raw cacao, coconut flakes and, of course, medjool dates to stick everything together.

I love the combination of sweet and salty. It’s incredibly more -ish, and this salted caramel filling is so good! It would also be amazing spooned over nice cream–yum!

I topped my pie with caramelised pecans and walnuts for a delicious crunch. But you could top with fresh fruit and that would be delicious too and I a little lighter.

This may be a rich dessert and would be perfect for a dinner party served with vegan ice cream, but it’s also completely vegan and naturally sweetened by the dates and protein packed from the delicious nuts.

I love this one, so I would love to hear what you think…

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp organic peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao
  • 8 medjool dates
  • Pinch salt

For the caramel layer

  • 1 cup medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp organic coconut oil–I like to use flavourless
  • 1 tsp sea salt

For the toppings

  • Pecans
  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • To make the crust, add the pecans to your food processor or high-speed blender and blitz until you get a crumb. Add in the rest of the crust ingredients and blitz again until everything comes together.

  • Press the crumbly mixture into your pie tin with your hands, then pipit into the freezer while you mane the caramel. I used a 10 inch pie tin.

  • Wash out your mixer and add in the caramel ingredients. Blitz until smooth–it will be a few minutes before all the dates are thoroughly blended in.

  • Dollop the caramel on the base and smooth out. Return to the freezer for at least 1 hr to firm up.

  • Add the pecans for a pan and dry toast on a medium heat for a few minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside.

  • Remove the pie from the freezer and top with the toasted nuts.

  • Store in the freezer.

FAQs

Does pecan pie contain gluten? ›

Without the crust, the filling in pecan pie is naturally gluten free. So making it gluten free just means using my best ever gluten free pie crust as the vessel for this marvelous filling.

Can you freeze caramel pecan pie? ›

Yes, You Can Freeze Pecan Pie.

Does pecan pie contain molasses? ›

Mix the filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl vigorously mix together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, melted butter, vanilla, and salt, until smooth. (No need for a mixer, you can beat by hand using a wooden spoon.)

Why did pecan pie crack? ›

Pecan pie has a somewhat similar set of issues—the filling can crack, the bottom can be under-baked, the filling can seep under the crust, and the nuts can be soggy. Like the pumpkin pie, the filling will crack if the pie is over-baked or cools too quickly.

What will an excess of gluten do to your pie? ›

The key to standard pie crust is having pockets of fat surrounded by flour. But if that fat starts to melt and mixes with the flour, it can start to develop gluten, which can lead to a tough crust.

Can celiacs eat pecans? ›

Yes, all single-ingredient nuts are gluten-free. That means the label will list just one ingredient, the nuts. Gluten-free nuts include (but are not limited to) peanuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews, chestnuts, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, pine, macadamia and Brazil nuts.

Is it better to freeze a pecan pie baked or unbaked? ›

It's best to start with a fully baked pecan pie to help avoid a major mess in your freezer. (Pecan pie filling is very liquidy before it's baked, and could leak or lean in the pie crust if you put it in the freezer unbaked!) You'll also want to make sure the pie is cooled before you put it in the freezer.

Can I eat pecan pie that was left out overnight? ›

You can only keep it at room temperature for two hours. Since pecan pies contain eggs, they have more chances to get bad and make you sick. So, if you have kept your pies in the fridge, put them back within two hours. On the other hand, store-bought pies contain preservatives that keep them from spoiling.

Does caramel pecan pie need to be refrigerated? ›

How to Store Caramel Pecan Pie. Loosely cover your caramel pecan pie with foil, then store it in the fridge for up to four days. Since this is an egg-rich pie, you should never store it at room temperature. Enjoy the leftovers cold or reheat it gently in the microwave or in the oven.

Is pecan pie healthier than pumpkin pie? ›

At around 300 calories per slice, pumpkin pie is a good bet for an indulgent dessert. It's a calorie bargain compared with other fall pies —apple pie weighs in at around 400 calories, and pecan pie at about 500 calories per slice. The type of crust used can make a big calorie difference.

What can I use instead of molasses in pie? ›

Granulated Sugar & Water

This is an easy swap: Just mix 3/4 cup granulated sugar with 1/4 cup water and use in place of 1 cup molasses. The sugar will add sweetness and the water will add moisture.

Which has more sugar apple pie or pecan pie? ›

Sugar by the Slice

The worst offenders for the highest sugar content are the classics: pecan and pumpkin. These two share 29 total grams. Pumpkin, unlike pecan, only has 15 grams of added sugar, only half of pecan's added 30! The pie with the next least amount of sugar is apple pie.

Can you rebake a pecan pie that is undercooked? ›

A soupy pecan pie filling can be fixed by covering the crust in foil and popping it back into the oven at around 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Should pecan pie jiggle when done? ›

If the filling is flowing in a wavy movement from the center to the edge, your pie isn't set quite yet. Wait for the moment when the center of your pecan pie gives you just a little jiggle, like the stable but slightly wiggly movement of Jell-O when you give it a gentle shake.

Can you overcook a pecan pie? ›

Yes, you can overcook a pecan pie.

A pecan pie is likely overcooked or has been in the oven too long if the top turns black or the filling starts to crack. Overbaking your pie can make it sticky or crunchy, causing the filling to become tough, hard, and difficult to eat.

What is pecan pie crust made of? ›
