Description

Pecan Cream Pie is a creamy, dreamy, no-bake dessert filled with a rich cream cheese base, whipped cream, and toasted pecans. It’s a refreshing twist on classic pecan pie, perfect for any holiday gathering!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker or shortbread pie crust
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups pecans, toasted and chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Then fold in 1 cup of the toasted and chopped pecans.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Top with remaining pecans for garnish.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4-5 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Slice and enjoy, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day ahead, allowing flavors to meld and the filling to firm up nicely.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Optional Topping: For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce or add a sprinkle of sea salt.
