Maple pecan pie is a delicious dessert that combines the rich flavors of maple syrup and pecans. Here’s a breakdown of its nutritional content per serving:

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my maple pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—it’s a classic combo that balances the pie’s sweetness perfectly. Fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or a handful of berries, adds a revitalizing contrast to the rich flavors. You can’t go wrong with either option, so why not try both?

Ice Cream Pairings

When I think about serving maple pecan pie, I can’t help but imagine a scoop of creamy ice cream melting over the warm, gooey filling. Vanilla is a classic choice, but I love experimenting with ice cream flavors like salted caramel or cinnamon for dessert pairings. The contrast of cold and warm, sweet and nutty, makes every bite feel like a cozy treat. It’s pure comfort on a plate!

Fresh Fruit Options

Ever wonder what fresh fruits could complement the rich flavors of maple pecan pie? I love adding seasonal fruits like sliced apples, pears, or juicy berries to balance the sweetness. For a festive touch, I’ll toss in some citrus segments or pomegranate seeds. Fruit garnishes, like a sprig of mint with berries, make it look fancy without much effort. It’s simple, fresh, and always a hit!
