Why I Love This Recipe

This dessert is a cheater’s pecan pie—but no one will complain. It bakes into sticky layers of caramelized biscuit bites, soft centers, crunchy pecans, and golden edges that just beg for a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of glaze.

It comes together in one bowl and one pan, and it always disappears fast. Trust me, this one’s a keeper.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups light corn syrup
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup salted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 (6 oz) cans Pillsbury Grands Homestyle biscuits
• 1½ cups chopped pecans
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.

2. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Prep the Biscuits

Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Toss the pieces into the bowl along with the chopped pecans. Gently fold everything together to coat in the sticky filling.

4. Assemble and Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. The center should still jiggle slightly—this is key for a gooey finish.

Pro tip: If it starts to brown too fast, loosely tent with foil in the last 10–15 minutes.

5. Cool and Glaze

Let the bubble up cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes—this helps the filling set. Then, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and drizzle over the warm bake.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Scoop, serve, and prepare for recipe requests. It’s even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
