Pecan pie is already delicious and oh-so Southern, but watch me turn it into an insanely decadent deep-fried treat, complete with bourbon whipped cream!

Deep Fried Pecan Pie
Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients:

• Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie, prepared and cooled
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pork cracklings
• Vegetable oil
• Bourbon Whipped Cream

Preparation:

1. Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat over medium heat to 350°.

2. Cut pie into 8 to 10 slices. Whisk together buttermilk and next 2 ingredients in a medium bowl.

3. Dredge pecan pie slices in flour coating on all sides. Dip into buttermilk mixture and dredge in pork cracklings, coating evenly. Fry pie slices, in batches, 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Top with bourbon whipped cream.
