No-Bake Creamy Pecan Pie: A Twist On The Classic
A twist on the classic, this No-Bake Creamy Pecan Pie is full of maple, brown sugar and pecan flavor, without the hassle of baking it.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9-inch pie shell (I used a Graham Cracker crust)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 bars (8 oz each) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a bowl with a hand mixer or a kitchen aid with the whisk, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. About 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, blend together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and maple syrup until combined and creamed together.
- Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture and stir together. Add in the 1 cup finely chopped pecans and stir together until combined.
- Pour into the pie crust and smooth out the top. Garnish the top of pie with remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours before serving.
Notes
I used a store-bought graham cracker pie crust. You can easily use a classic store-bought dough pie crust (but you might have to pre-bake it)
If you’d like to add whipped topping: whip together 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar, beat until stiff, and put into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (1M) and pipe it on for decor.
