Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Pecans, halved (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired, and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, and continue mixing until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the corn syrup, mixing until the consistency is homogenous and glossy.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add them to the cream cheese mixture, stirring to combine.
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter, mixing thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold the chopped pecans into the mixture, then pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the pecan halves decoratively on top of the pie for an elegant finish.
Carefully place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly wobbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will give the filling time to set for a perfect texture.
Serve warm or chilled and enjoy the creamy, nutty decadence of your Chee Zee Pecan Pie!
