White Chocolate Pecan Pie

From Chef Cat Cora of Iron Chef.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch)  pie crusts (homemade or store bought)
• 2  cups pecan halves
• 1 1⁄3 cups white chocolate chips or 1 1⁄3 cups  vanilla flavored  chips
• 3  large eggs
• 3⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar
• 3⁄4 cup light corn syrup
• 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
•  whipped cream (optional) or  ice cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Layer the pecans and white chocolate chips on the bottom of your pie shell.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup and flour until thoroughly combined. Carefully pour the mixture over the nuts and white chips.
4. Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set in the center, about 35-40 minutes. (Check after about 25 minutes, and if the pie is browning too quickly, spray tin foil with non-stick spray and cover the pie loosely.) Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool for a couple of hours.
5. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or all by itself.
