If you have grown up in Oklahoma then it is probably safe to say you have had a Field’s Pecan Pie! They have been a staple on kitchen tables since 1922 and come from our own backyard in Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma! These pies are delectable!! In fact, the German Chocolate Pie is my families favorite and there has not been a Christmas or Thanksgiving that I did not serve this pie. This year I am going to change it up a bit and serve the Lemon Chess Pie for Easter! If your family is anything like my family then you know there is always that one piece left in the pan. Everyone walks past it afraid to eat “the last piece.” We’ll, I have a solution! Make a milkshake!
Field’s Pecan Pie Shake
2 cups French vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup milk
1 slice of Field’s Pecan Pie (their German Chocolate is awesome too.)
In a blender, add ice cream, milk and slice of pie. Blend till smooth.
Serves: 2
If you love German Chocolate pies then try my recipe for the most decadent brownie that will ever cross your lips! Easy to make because you use a WHOLE Field’s German Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Field’s German Chocolate Brownies
1 Field’s German Chocolate Pie, thawed and cubed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup Braum’s half and half
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla paste
Vegetable cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a metal 9×13 pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside. Take the thawed pie and cut the entire thing into small squares and set aside!
Melt the butter and chocolate chunks in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until fully melted.
In a large bowl mix together whisk together the sugar and eggs till creamy. Using an electric hand mixer for this part, beat in the chocolate mixture, half and half along with 1/2 of the pie pieces. Beat until everything is well blended. Add in the flour, baking powder and vanilla. Only mix till combined! Too much mixing makes for a less chewy brownie. Stir in the rest of the pie pieces. Stir to coat and incorporate.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9×13 pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool and then cut.
