Pecan Cream Cheese Pie is decadent. With a cream cheese bottom layer and a pecan filling top layer this delicious pie will quickly become your “go to” recipe to make and bake for family and friends all year round.
Pecan Cream Cheese Pie Pecan Cream Cheese Pie. Your going to LOVE this! My son has already eaten half the pie himself. He told me, he would rather have this pie instead of regular pecan pie. With a cheesecake filling layer on the bottom and a pecan pie filling on the top, it’s like having 2 pies in one. This is a light pie and not overly sweet.
We’re making pie so the first thing we need is a pie crust. You can make your own pie crust, which I strongly urge you to do. If your going to make this delicious pie, do it up good with a homemade butter pie crust. You can make a homemade pie crust dough the day before you’re going to use it. Make your favorite pie crust recipe, wrap the dough ball in plastic and place it in the fridge overnight to use the next day. You can normally keep a homemade pie crust dough wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to two days, but I wouldn’t let it go past two days.
I have no clue why (impatient is the first thing that comes to mind) but when I am excited about making a pie and I make the crust the day I’m making the pie and have to wait for it to sit in the fridge 2 hours, it deflates my urge to bake. I want it ready and waiting the day I’m making the pie. My practice now , is to make the pie crust dough the night before I want to bake so it’s ready when I am, the next day. I guarantee you if you make it a practice to get the pie dough made the night before you bake, you’ll bake more pies using a homemade crust.. Half the work is already done, all you have to do is roll it out and fill it.
Having the pie crust already made and waiting for you means you’re ahead of the game the day you make Pecan Cream Cheese Pie. Roll the pie dough out and fit it into a 9 inch pie plate and crimp the edges. If you’re in a hurry, you can use a premade frozen pie crust, thawing it before using it according to the package directions.
Our next step is making the first layer of the pie, the cream cheese layer. Place the cream cheese filling ingredients into a large bowl and beat them together until smooth
Cream Cheese Layer Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- eight ounce block cream cheese , room temperature
Pour the cream cheese filling into the bottom of your pie crust, spreading it out evenly and bake it for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Remove the pie from the oven to a rack while we make the second layer, the pecan pie filling layer. Keep your oven on at at 350 degrees.
One layer made and one to go. To make the pecan pie filling layer place the following ingredients into another large bowl.
Pecan Pie Filling Ingredients:
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Whisk these two ingredients together until they are well combined. Then add the following ingredients to the bowl:
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
Whisk all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Set the bowl aside.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the baked cream cheese layer in the pie plate.
SLOWLY pour the corn syrup mixture evenly over top of the pecans in the pie pan. Place the pie back into the oven and bake 35 – 40 minutes or until set in the middle. Cool completely, then refrigerate the pie.
Look at this! Who could resist a pie with both a cream cheese and pecan pie filling layer all in one pie! Pecan Cream Cheese Pie is decadent!

Thanks Kim!
I make the pie every Thanksgiving. It’s a must in our house!
It’s a keeper Roe!
I accidently deleted your Pecan Cream Cheese Pie. Would you please it to my in box again so I can save it in a folder. Thank you so much , it’s a wonderful pie & would like to make it again. Thanks again, Carolyn
Sent you an email Carolyn!
There seemed to be way too much filling for my pie crust , not only did it overflow but I had over a cup left over. If I make this again, I will have to adjust the recipe. One cup of pecans would have been enough and I found two eggs for the cream cheese made it too loose. Other than that, it smells amazing while baking.
I hope it worked out for you Sophie.
Made this pie last weekend for a dinner party. It was delicious! Definitely going into my dessert rotation. Thanks for posting!
Thank you Kerry it’s definitely a keeper around here too!
Looks divine. My regular pecan pie recipe calls for raw pecans. Does baking in the pie not toast them? Have you made it without toasting them ahead of time? Thanks for the recipe.
Jane toasting the pecans brings out their wonderful flavor. You don’t have to toast them though.
Made this pie today. My wife and I really enjoyed it. It’s so much better than a traditional pecan pie. Thanks for the great recipe.
Oh a man that bakes!! Your wife is a lucky woman Brian!! Thanks for coming to visit!
Has anyone tried this with a graham cracker crust? I don’t care for standard pie crusts.
Kelly no one has come back to tell me they used a graham cracker crust.
I used a graham cracker crust. I did not baked the crust and it was very carnal-like. Next time I am going to bake it first. The flavor worked well with the recipe 🙂
Great Singingbird! Always helpful for others who would like to make it with a graham cracker crust.
This is really a good pie, I was making this in the early 80s
Thank you Tere.
Yes i do. Its great
Thank you Shannon.
Would this freeze well and I was wondering the same about the Graham cracker crust. Did someone try it yet? Thanks so much. Plan to make it for Christmas dessert
Pie was delicious! Only thing I would have changed is to cream the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and then add the eggs and vanilla. I mixed everything together as stated in step #3 and could not get cream cheese smooth even though it was at room temperature. Pie still turned out good though!
Try it that way next time Charlene,if that works for you then just keep making it that way in the directions. Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate it Charlene!
I made this with a graham cracker crust and it was amazing. The recipe made for extra filling, especially for the graham crust but I didn’t mind at all, it would be too hard to divid the recipe that small fraction.
It wasn’t too sweet either which was a pleasant surprise. Go with graham cracker crust if you can!
Thank you Tori!
I love pecans (obviously). I love cream cheese. And I love pie. You warmed my heart with this one. Sooooo good! Thank you.
Thank you Millican Pecan

Rika it’s like having two amazing pies in one isn’t it! Thank you for taking the time to comment sweetie, I appreciate it.
