I learned this version from my Amish friend! It was really delicious!

Pour the mix into the pie crust that has been baked beforehand. Allow it to cool down to room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until it becomes firm.

In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Put the whipped cream on top of the cold pie.

Add more chopped pecans on top if you like before serving.

Different Types and Advice

Although the original recipe is tasty by itself, you can enhance the flavor by adding a bit of bourbon to the filling. For a healthier option, use half the regular sugar and replace it with maple syrup or honey. If you like a crispy texture, you can toast the pecans before putting them in the filling. For those who don't eat dairy, using a mix of coconut milk and coconut cream can be a great substitute.
