Ingredients
Scale
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whipped topping or extra whipped cream
1/2 cup additional pecans for topping, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sandy soil. Press firmly into a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similarly sized pan. Chill 10 to 15 minutes to set.
Beat 8 oz cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until smooth and airy. Whip 1 cup cold heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the cream cheese. Optional: add a tablespoon lemon juice or a pinch of salt.
Whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans until coated; the mixture should be glossy and slightly viscous.
Spread the cream cheese layer over the chilled crust. Spoon the pecan filling on top in an even layer. For a more pronounced crust, add a second thin crust layer or sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs around the edges as a decorative collar.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best texture. If in a hurry, chill 2 hours and freeze for 20 minutes to set more quickly.
Right before serving, spread 1 cup whipped cream over the top. Use stabilized whipped cream for longer hold and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans on top.
Wipe the knife between cuts for clean slices. Serve chilled with optional extra whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
A no-bake, crowd-pleasing dessert that layers a crisp graham cracker crust, a creamy cream cheese layer, a glossy pecan filling, and a cloud of whipped cream for a show-stopping finish.
