I can't believe this recipe dosen't have more reviews! This pie was different and delicious. It has a salty sweet tast to it. The pecan filling goes to the bottom and the cheese cake like filling bakes to the top with the pecans. We liked it the best refrigerated. Thanks for posting!

This pie was a delight. I made the recipe as stated and I used a slightly modified Kittencal buttery flakey pie crust. I didn't soften my cream cheese so I had to beat the heck out of it in my kitchenaid. It was light and creamy, not cheesecake-y but not syrupy like pecan pie usually is. I really liked it. My husband says it was "good". But he says it in that same tone that he uses when he says I look "good"....

I made two of these pies for Thanksgiving and they were enjoyed by all. This dessert is not overly sweet like a lot of pecan pies but this was really good. will definitely make this again. I think it should be noted that this recipe makes two store bought regular pie shells not one.
