Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.
Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla, and beat until creamy.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly into the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 3: Make the Pecan Pie Filling
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well combined.
Gently stir in the pecan halves until coated.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
Carefully spoon the pecan mixture over the cheesecake layer — try not to disturb the bottom layer too much.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when gently shaken.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing. For best results, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch!
Storage Tips:
Refrigerate: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze: You can freeze the whole pie or individual slices for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
