Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the eggs and sugar.
3
With the mixer on low speed, slowly stream in the cooled, melted butter, followed by the dark corn syrup, vanilla extract, and ground vanilla powder.
4
Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix or create froth, as this can cause the pecans to sink during baking.
5
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of your chilled, unbaked pie crust.
6
Arrange the pecan halves decoratively on top of the chopped pecans.
7
Slowly and gently pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust.
8
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
9
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for a few hours to allow the filling to set fully.
10
Slice and serve, garnishing with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a mint leaf, if desired.
