Notes
- Store leftovers, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain that delicious gooey texture.
- Reheat individual slices gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds to revive the warmth and buttery flavor.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the pecan pie richness.
- For an extra nutty crunch, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before sprinkling them over the sweetened condensed milk.
