Fix for runny pecan pie
I have read the boards from people who ask what they can do with a pecan pie that did not set up and all the responses are what the cook should have done from the beginning. That doesn't help. Is there something I can do NOW to fix it? Should I try baking it more? Should I microwave it? Help!!
Best Answer
let it sit out and dehydrate a bit?
fold it into vanilla ice cream?
next time: more egg in the filling or use less filling or lower temp/longer bake time

A soupy filling can be fixed by covering the crust in foil and popping it back into the oven at around 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Do not wait too long after you notice the filling isn't set. If you do, the bottom of the crust could begin to get soggy.Why is my pecan pie still runny?

If I had a couple hours or more, Id try to refrigerate a runny pie. Maybe the filling will gel in the fridge but it would take a little time.
