directions
- Note: to toast pecans, place them on a baking sheet in a 350° oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- To make the cream cheese filling: in a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and salt, continuing to beat 3-5 minutes or until the ingredients are well blended and mixture is considerably thicker (recommend using the whisk attachment of your mixer, if you have one); set aside.
- To make the corn syrup filling: in a bowl, beat eggs using an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute.
- Add in corn syrup, sugar, and vanilla; beat 1 more minute; set aside.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle with pecans.
- Slowly and carefully pour the corn syrup filling over the pecans.
- Put pie on a baking sheet and bake in a 375° oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center of the pie is set (tent crust edges if needed to prevent over browning).
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Best served at room temperature with sweetened whipped cream.
