PECAN CREAM PIE

It has that wonderful nutty pecan flavor but it’s all folded into a fluffy sweet and creamy filling so it’s a completely different Pecan Pie experience – one with a cool and creamy bite.

  • SERVES: 8
  • TOTAL TIME: 2 HOURS
  • PREP TIME: 35 MIN
Ingredients
  • 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Blind bake crust according to package directions. Let cool completely while you make the filling.

  • In a small bowl, beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

  • In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, salt, and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.

  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Gently stir in 1 cup of the pecans.

  • Spread mixture into cooled pie crust and top with remaining pecans. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
