Recipe
Pecan Cream Pie:
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Deep dish Pie crust, you can roll out your own or do like me and buy the pet-ritz ready made
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 cup of sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided (I go a little heavy on this)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/8 tsp. salt
1/13 cups chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare your pie crust
(I use the KitchenAid wire whip for this)
Beat cream cheese, sugar and 1 egg at medium speed until well combined. Beat in 1 tsp vanilla.
Pour mixture into pie shell
Topping:
Whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, remaining 2 eggs, melted butter, remaining 1 tsp vanilla, salt. Stir in pecans
Pour mixture over cream cheese layer and make for 40-45 mins or until center is set. Let cool for 1 hour before serving.
Remember, this is a fairly forgiving recipe and you can adjust ingredients to your more personal taste and still achieve a good result.
