Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat along with it.
Roughly chop the pecan halves and place them in the unbaked frozen pie crust. If you want to make a border of pecan halve, take about 25 extra halves and set aside.
Put the remaining ingredients in the blender in the order listed.
Cover and run on low speed just until blended, then pour mixture over the pecans. If making a border, arrange the reserved pie halves around the side.
Set pie on the preheated baking sheet.
Bake for 35 minutes or until filling is puffed and crust is browned.
Let cool for several hours. Refrigerate overnight if desired, then bring to room temperature and slice. Alternatively, you can let the pie cool and then freeze it until ready to slice.
