Pecan Cheesecake Pie is a delicious dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the rich and nutty flavor of pecans. It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion, especially during the holiday season. Here’s a simple recipe to help you make a Pecan Cheesecake Pie:
Ingredients:
– 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
– 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans
– 1/2 cup (100g) light corn syrup
– 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
– Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, corn syrup, and melted butter. Mix well.
6. Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
7. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips during baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and the pecans are golden brown.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
11. Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
