Heavenly Hash Pie (Date-Pecan Pie)
Heavenly Hash Pie is a rich, sweet dessert combining dates, pecans, and a creamy filling in a flaky pastry crust, perfect for nut lovers and those craving a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat sugar, flour, and egg until well combined.
- Fold in chopped dates, heavy cream, and chopped pecans.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
- Bake for 1 hour at 300°F (150°C).
- Serve warm or cooled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute half with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Ensure you use fresh dates for the best texture, and if unavailable, dried ones can work but should be soaked in hot water beforehand to soften.
Serving Suggestions
Heavenly Hash Pie is delightful when served warm, and it pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light sorbet to balance the richness. For a holiday twist, serve it with a side of spiced coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap or foil. It will keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or warm in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes until warmed through.
