Ingredients
Scale
- 1 homemade pie crust, prepared in a 9-inch pie pan
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your homemade pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake the crust until golden and let it cool completely before filling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the maple syrup to the cream cheese, mixing until combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, then chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. For extra texture contrast, reserve a few whole pecan halves to press into the top before chilling.
