JUST GOO PECAN PIE – NO PECANS

Jul.posted by Paula 40 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This JUST GOO PECAN PIE – NO PECANS is an easy to make recipe, requires just a few simple ingredients, and is buttery and decadent. It’s a tasty dessert for any occasion.

This #recipe, just the goo pecan pie (no pecans) is easy to make, requires just a few simple ingredients, and is buttery and decadent. #pie

Remember at Thanksgiving that one family member that doesn’t like pecans and rakes them off the Pecan Pie? Well, fret no more! I have a delicious pie just for that family member!

My Just Goo Pecan Pie has no pecans! It’s just the gooey, caramel nougat filling. And it’s fabulous!

I seriously patterned this after my Granny’s Pecan Pie recipe. It’s so good. It’s similar to a Chess Pie. I feel like this pie is out there somewhere and called something else. Butter Pie, Caramel Pie, Brown Sugar Pie – they would all appropriate for the taste, texture, and ingredients.

Just Goo Pecan Pie has a nice caramel flavor from the brown sugar. It’s sooooooo good! Honestly, I had to stop myself from eating it.

Furthermore, it’s also economical to make and you probably already have the ingredients right in your pantry and fridge.

Also, you can make this crust homemade. I like Never Fail Pie Crust recipe and Coconut Oil Pie Crust Recipe. Or, you can purchase a ready-made pie crust from your grocer.

The pie’s filling is really similar to the filling in pecan pie except without nuts. It’s super sweet,  a little sticky, and so very yummy. As well, it’s scrumptious topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. And, since caramel and salt go together so well, try a sprinkle of sea salt on your slice.

    I am planning to make this pie for Christmas dinner. I love pecan pie. But can no longer eat the pecans. So happy I found this recipe! Also I am going to try to get my husband to try it. He doesnt like pecans… very picky guy. But hopefully I can get him to try it if I tell him it’s a brown sugar pie or caramel pie. Me on the other hand, I will try anything at least once. Maybe twice. Thank you for all the tips. You are the best!!! Looks like a very Delicious recipe! Cant wait to try this!

      Thanks so much. I hope you and your husband enjoy it. I’m picky regarding ‘real’ food, but there aren’t many desserts I don’t like. 😍

    Ok…I know this must sound like an odd question…but here goes…
    I’m an old lady who had to have all my teeth extracted…can’t be replaced…so my question to you is….can I grind pecans in a very fine state…before going to butter(paste)….I’m missing my pecan pie…and tons of the food…
    It’s no fun…thanks for any & all help you can give me….Paula Guffey

      yes, you can. I think that’s a great way to make this pie and still have the pecan flavor.

    With pre made pie crust do you still prick and bake ??? And what brand corn syrup do you use ?

      I use Karo and, yes, a premade crust will work beautifully.

          I’ve made it with This agave> https://shopstyle.it/l/bKbZZ and this Karo > https://shopstyle.it/l/bKbZJ
          Honey works too but I’ve never been a big fan of honey.

            I was wondering about the corn syrup too as the ingredients say “white” corn syrup and I didn’t know what that was. 🙂

              Karo corn syrup comes in ‘white’/clear and a darker ‘maple-ish’ color. My Granny always used the white or clear Karo so that’s what I’m used to getting and using.

      I’ve never heard of that so I didn’t copy another recipe but I don’t doubt you. There are so many recipes and you think you’re coming up with something original. I came up with my version because of family who doesn’t like pecans.

    Hello I was wondering if you could you pecan extract as well with the vanilla extract? Or would it be to much liquid?

    Thanks

    How can 8 get pecan flavor without the nuts? Have a loved one who csnr eat them because of no teeth. Would pecan flour for the crust be a option ? Does that even exist???

      I think use pecan flour for the crust is a wonderful idea. I found some>> https://amzn.to/2UV8QSJ
      but it’s probably too late to get. I think you could make it by just grinding pecans up really fine in a food processor.

    I tried this yesterday and it is amazing! I made the crust gluten free and the whole pie actually. After I baked the masa butter crust (press in crust) I put a few handfuls of semisweet chocolate chips. Then poured from a blender, the pie filling. Threw a few more all around the filling and baked in a small toaster oven for maybe 20 min.
    Amazing layer of chocolate over the goo!

    Hello:

    As someone who can no longer eat nuts I am very glad to have found your recipe. Did you use a regular 9″ pie crust or a deep dish? Have you tried to add chocolate to this recipe?

    Thank you.

      I used a regular pie crust, not deep dish. I haven’t but I do have this recipe for Chocolate Cheese Pie that has the same texture. You may like it. https://www.callmepmc.com/chocolate-chess-pie/
