"Costco's take on a classic pecan pie recipe definitely invites some creativity with regard to serving. Whether you take the cookie-cutter approach to breaking it up into smaller pieces, try your hand at making slim slices, or simply scoop it out with a spoon and blend it into a festive milkshake, there is a lot you can do with that much pecan pie. Fans on Reddit call the pie "a very solid value" with a delicious crust. Some voices of dissent call it out as "mid" or too sweet, though this can be easily rectified with a few clever touches."
"The once-a-year appearance of Costco's pecan dessert is truly cause for celebration. Though opinions can vary on this massive pie, even those who might think it too sweet can find ways to enjoy it. For example, serving a small piece of the pie alongside a Thanksgiving-themed whiskey or bourbon cocktail will help to counter some of the excessive sweetness and act as a pleasing after-dinner treat. It would also pair well with an espresso or a cup of coffee."
Costco sells a 70-ounce Kirkland Signature pecan pie offered seasonally at many warehouses and typically priced under $20. The pie’s jumbo, shareable format invites creative serving methods such as using cookie cutters for individual portions, slicing thin wedges, or scooping into milkshakes. Online reactions vary: some shoppers praise it as “a very solid value” with a delicious crust, while others call it “mid” or too sweet. Those preferring less sweetness can pair small portions with whiskey or bourbon cocktails, espresso, or coffee, or add a sprinkle of flaky Maldon Salt to balance the flavor.
