Step 3: Combine Layers
Grease a medium-sized baking dish or several small ramekins.
Pour half of the pudding mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Then spoon the pecan pie mixture over the top, followed by the remaining pudding.
The layers will gently swirl together as they bake, creating a marbled, caramelized texture.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly firm in the center. The pudding should jiggle slightly when you move the dish—it will continue setting as it cools.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the pudding to cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. You can serve it warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a thicker, custard-like experience.
Top each serving with a generous spoonful of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkle with whole pecans, and drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of luxury.
💡 Tips for Success
- Use toasted pecans for a richer, nuttier flavor.
- Don’t skip tempering the eggs—this step ensures your pudding stays silky smooth.
- For a twist, add a splash of bourbon or maple syrup to the pecan mixture for depth and warmth.
