Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough, and crimping the edges. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add in the corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, raspberry liqueur, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Arrange the pecan halves in the prepared pie crust. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or simply sprinkle them in evenly.
-
Pour the syrup mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, making sure to distribute it evenly.
-
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. The filling will continue to set as it cools.

Serve your Pink Squirrel Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
