Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, homemade or storebought, baked and cooled

Filling

  • 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup (31 g) confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (79 g) pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups (163.5 g) pecans, finely chopped, divided

Topping

  • 8 ounces whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Whip Heavy Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and confectioner’s sugar. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside this whipped cream mixture.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In another large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, ensuring the filling remains light and fluffy.
  4. Add Pecans: Fold in 1 cup of the finely chopped pecans into the filling mixture evenly.
  5. Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the pecan cream filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  6. Chill Pie: Place the filled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set properly. For best flavor and texture, chill overnight.
  7. Add Whipped Cream Topping: Once chilled, spread the prepared whipped cream in a smooth, even layer over the top of the pie.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Evenly sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chopped pecans over the whipped cream topping before serving for a crunchy, nutty finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use a pre-baked pie crust to avoid a soggy bottom.
  • When softening cream cheese, ensure it’s at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Chilling the pie overnight enhances flavor and helps the filling set firmly.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
