Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Beat the Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer.

    🎉 Pro Tip: Make sure your mixing bowl is completely clean and dry to achieve perfect peaks!

  3. Add Sugar and Baking Powder: Gradually add in the sugar and baking powder, continuing to beat until well combined.

  4. Fold in Ingredients: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, crushed Ritz crackers, and vanilla extract until just combined.

    🍯 Note: Be careful when folding as you want to keep the airiness of the egg whites which gives the pie its light texture.

  5. Transfer to Pie Dish: Pour the mixture into a buttered 9" pie pan and spread it evenly.

  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

  7. Cool & Top: Allow the pie to cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with additional chopped pecans for garnish.

    ❄️ Chill it: For the best flavor, chill the pie thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving.
