Pecan Cream Pie

This pecan cream pie is made with cream cheese, chopped pecans, and a few other simple ingredients. It’s delicious, not overly sweet, and super easy to make!

If you love easy pie recipes, then this is the recipe for you! I used a store-bought ready-to-use pie crust but feel free to make the pie crust from scratch. For more of my favorites, check out this no bake peanut butter pie and apple slab pie.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PIE

• Way easier to make than classic pecan pie and not as sweet!
• Perfectly firm, nutty, rich, and creamy.
• If you want it sweeter, you can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream.
• Requires minimal ingredients.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

• Heavy Cream – Cannot be substituted with milk or half and half.
• Pie Crust – I highly recommend using store-bought pecan pie crust. It’ll save you a bunch of time!
• Pecans – If you’re not a fan of pecans, use walnuts instead.
• Cream Cheese – Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature otherwise, the filling will turn out lumpy.
• Sugar – You’ll need powdered sugar and brown sugar.
• Maple Syrup – Use good quality maple syrup for best results.

TOP TIPS

• If you don’t feel like whipping up your own whipped cream, feel free to use store-bought cool whip instead of heavy cream and powdered sugar.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours before serving.
• Make sure to fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently. Use a rubber spatula, not a whisk!

WHAT DO I SERVE THIS WITH?

I highly recommend serving this with whipped cream or ice cream.
