This Pecan Cream Pie recipe delivers a decadent, silky filling contrasted beautifully with crunchy pecans. It offers a rich, Southern-inspired dessert perfect for any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) pre-baked pie crust
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted (for filling)
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter together until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  2. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. This forms your creamy filling base.
  4. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans into the filling.
  5. Carefully spoon the entire filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Smooth the top surface.
  6. Arrange the pecan halves decoratively over the top of the filling. If using, lightly brush the tops with corn syrup for extra shine.
  7. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  8. Slice and serve this impressive dessert cold.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans lightly before using them to deepen their flavor.
  • Ensure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a lump-free filling.
  • This recipe works well as a no-bake option, relying on chilling time to set the filling.
  • For an extra touch of Southern flavor, add a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mixture.
