Pecan Cream Pie

This Pecan Cream Pie is a silky, no-bake style dessert that balances rich cream cheese and maple sweetness with the warm crunch of pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 homemade pie crust, prepared in a 9-inch pie pan
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and fit your homemade pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Blind-bake the crust until golden and set, then let it cool completely.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Scrape the bowl sides to ensure an even texture.
  3. Add the maple syrup gradually to the cream cheese while continuing to beat until well combined.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended and airy.
  5. Fill the baked pie crust with the cream cheese mixture and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Top with the chopped pecans, optionally toasting them for deeper flavor before sprinkling.
  7. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Chill the pie long enough that the filling firms up for cleaner slices.
