A layered holiday dessert that combines crunchy vanilla wafers, silky no-bake cheesecake, and a warm pecan pie topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra pecans (optional, for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crumb base by mixing crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a trifle dish.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer by beating softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in whipped topping and chill if necessary.
  3. Cook the pecan pie layer by combining brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and butter in a saucepan. Stir until thickened.
  4. Assemble the trifle with layers of crumb base, cheesecake filling, and pecan pie mixture. Repeat layers and top with pecan caramel.
  5. Chill the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. Garnish with whipped cream and extra pecans before serving.

Notes

Press the crumb base firmly to prevent crumbling when serving. This trifle is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
