Ingredients

• 1 piece Prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 115 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cream cheese layer)
• 1 piece Egg (for cream cheese layer)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream cheese layer)
• 3 pieces Eggs (for pecan layer)
• 240 milliliters Light corn syrup
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for pecan layer)
• 150 grams Pecans, chopped
• 50 grams Whole pecans (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place your prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Stir the chopped pecans into the pecan mixture and pour it carefully over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.

Step 5

Optional: Arrange whole pecans on the top of the pie for garnish.

Step 6

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to prevent any spillage, then bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. For best results, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 8

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
