Introduction
Condensed Milk Pecan Pie is a rich, creamy twist on the classic Southern dessert. By using sweetened condensed milk, this pie achieves a smooth, custard-like filling that’s perfectly sweet without relying heavily on corn syrup. The result is a deeply flavorful pie with a buttery pecan crunch on top and a silky interior that slices beautifully. It’s an excellent choice for holidays, family gatherings, and special occasions.
