Salted caramel poured over delicious pecans in a homemade pecan-flour crust is a luxurious alternative to traditional pecan pie. The lighter depth means less guilt and more enjoyment. Topped with homemade whipped cream and flecks of homemade vanilla maple sea salt, this dessert is sure to impress. The recipe is adapted from a Food Network recipe. I reduced the vanilla extract to 1/2 teaspoon in the filling and added 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar, sprinkled across the top prior to baking. I also changed the finishing touches and used homemade whipped cream and vanilla maple sea salt in place of chocolate drizzle. The finishing touches are what make this dessert stand out.
