Preparation Time:

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Layer:

One pie crust

Eight ounces of vanilla cream cheese, softened

Half a cup of granulated sugar

One egg

For the Pecan Layer:

One cup of pecans

One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Half a cup of unsalted butter, melted

Two and a half cups of granulated sugar

Two-thirds cup of dark corn syrup

Two eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F while preparing the baking or pie pan. To prevent sticking, line the pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2: Roll out the pie crust and place it into the prepared pan, crimping the edges neatly. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar for about two minutes until smooth. Add the egg and mix until fully combined. Pour this cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled pie crust.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the dark corn syrup, eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the pecans, ensuring they are well coated.

Gently pour this mixture over the cheesecake layer, allowing the sweet pecan topping to create the final layer of the pie.

Step 5: Cover the pie with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust turns golden brown.

Step 6: Allow the pie to cool for at least two hours before serving. If desired, drizzle condensed milk over the top for an extra indulgent touch.

Serving Suggestions

Pecan cheesecake pie is best served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an even richer flavor.

Whether you’re making it for a special event or just to satisfy a sweet craving, this pie is sure to be a hit!
