Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces pecan halves (2 3/4 cups), toasted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Pie Crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set aside 16 pecan halves for garnish; coarsely chop remaining pecans. Stir together eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in chopped pecans, and pour mixture into prepared piecrust, spreading evenly. Garnish edges with remaining pecan halves.
  • Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake, rotating halfway through, until filling is just set and crust is golden brown, about 90 minutes. (Tent with foil if nuts are getting too dark.) Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese for a smooth and rich filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients.
  • Use a food processor to chop the pecans finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the filling.
  • Press the pie crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking while baking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This rich cream cheese pecan pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual family gathering to a special holiday meal. With its creamy filling, crunchy pecan topping, and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
