Pecan Cheesecake Pie

recip


  • 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the Pecan Filling:

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Serving:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Fresh pecans or caramel sauce for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish if not using a pre-made crust.

Step 2: Make the Pecan Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Fold in the chopped pecans and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

  1. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

  1. Press the pre-made pie crust into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  2. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the crust.
  3. Dollop the cheesecake mixture on top of the pecan layer and spread it out gently with a spatula.

Step 5: Bake Until Set

  1. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  2. Let the pie cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours—or overnight—to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh pecans, or caramel drizzle for extra indulgence.

Tips for Success

  • Use Quality Pecans : Fresh, toasted pecans enhance the flavor and crunch of the filling.
  • Don’t Overmix : Stop stirring once all ingredients are combined to avoid making the layers dense.
  • Balance Sweetness : Adjust the sugar in either layer based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Make It Ahead : Prep the pie earlier in the day and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
