    PECAN CREAM PIE RECIPE

    Are you a fan of traditional pecan pie? I have never loved classic pecan pie. It's overly sweet, gooey, and just not my favorite. Which is why when I found this pecan cream pie I was so obsessed. 

    It tastes like pecan pie but with a creamy, thick, light & fluffy texture. The only thing you have to cook is the pie crust! So it's almost no-bake and completely irresistible. 

    No Holiday dessert table is complete with out it!

    HOW TO MAKE PECAN CREAM PIE

    Cooked & Cooled 9-inch Pie Crust - Make your own pie crust or use a store-bought crust. Either way works just make sure that it's cooked and cooled before making this pecan cream pie. 

    Heavy Whipping Cream - This recipe calls for homemade whipped cream!

    Powdered Sugar - Used to sweeten the whipped cream.

    Cream Cheese - For best taste and texture use full-fat, real cream cheese.

    Brown Sugar - I only ever keep light brown sugar on hand so I use that. If you're wanting a richer, deeper flavor then use dark brown sugar. 

    Pure Maple Syrup - Do not try and use maple pancake syrup. Just don't! Buy pure maple syrup and you will have plenty left to make this pie all the time!

    Chopped Pecans - Chop them as small or leave them in larger chunks. Whichever you prefer.

    MY TIPS FOR THIS PECAN PIE RECIPE

    • Use pure maple syrup NOT pancake syrup. They're not the same thing. You will find the pure maple syrup by the other syrup and breakfast items in the grocery store. 
    • I prefer the homemade whipped cream in this recipe but if you are wanting a shortcut then replace the heavy whipping cream & powdered sugar with 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip. 
    • Make sure the pie crust is cooked and cooled before adding the pecan cream filling. And make sure you plan ahead of time so this pie has time to refrigerate before serving. I always make it the night before and let it refrigerate overnight (covered). 
    • This pie needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration time but it does really well if it's more. I always make this the day before Thanksgiving (or whenever else I need it) and let it sit in the fridge all night and all day the next day until we eat Thanksgiving dinner in the early evening. 

    BE SURE AND TRY THESE OTHER FABULOUS PIE RECIPES

    Raspberry Cream Pie - A graham cracker crust, cheesecake filling, and topped with an easy homemade raspberry pie filling. Top with some whipped cream and fresh raspberries for one of my personal favorite Holiday desserts. 

    Maple Pumpkin Pie - Classic pumpkin pie seasoned with real maple syrup!

    Pistachio Cheesecake Pie - It's no bake and uses pistachio pudding. This is so light, creamy, fluffy, and just delicious. 

    Banana Cream Pie - If you're not a fan of mushy browned bananas in your pie then this is the recipe for you. The only way I will eat a banana cream pie.

    Calories 493 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 (9-inch) uncooked pie crust
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • 2 bars (8 oz each) cream cheese softened
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
    • 1 ½ cups finely chopped pecans

    Instructions
     

    • Cook pie crust according to package or recipe instructions. Let cool completely before adding the cream pie filling. 
    • In a small bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer, or stand mixer, until stiff peaks form. This will take several minutes. 
    • In a separate larger bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup. Beat together until combined and creamy. 
    • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and stir together until combined. Stir in 1 cup of the chopped pecans. 
    • Spread mixture into the baked and cooled pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top of the pie. Cover and let refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before serving. 
    • I like to whip some additional cream to decorate the top with right before serving (as pictured above). You don't have to do this at all. Serve plain and it's really delicious too.

    Notes

    It's best to use the full-fat cream cheese for this recipe.
     
    If wanted, you can use an 8 oz tub of Cool Whip instead of whipping your own heavy cream and powdered sugar together. It tastes much better when you whip it yourself, but you can use the easier option of Cool Whip if you prefer.

        I can't think of anything that would be a good substitute. If it helps at all, you don't taste this pie and think that it tastes like maple syrup. You could always try not adding it but then I am afraid you would end up with a bland cream pie that does not really taste like anything.

          even a coffee creamer would work great. I usually get one called simply vanilla or something like that. It is supposed to be 5 ingredients. My latest obsession that I add to my shots of espresso to make latte's is a coffee creamer that Starbucks makes. Its called caramel macchiato. .They also have a white chocolate mocha, a pumpkin spice and a cinnamon dolce. I love this creamer ! I use it to sweeten up oatmeal when I make a large pan. I add milk but also a splash of this, makes it creamy and sweet with an extra flavor

        Try using Karo syrup instead of maple. In the south we make all pecan pies with Karo syrup which is a type of corn syrup. It’s the syrup used to make popcorn balls, often found on the baking isle of the supermarket.

          I always pack brown sugar in every recipe. The pie is sweet but I don't think overly sweet at all. It's up to you if you want to pack brown sugar or not. I think it's fairly common to always pack it but that's just me 🙂 Enjoy!

            I made this pie last night for a dinner party and it was amazing. Everyone loved it. The texture was firm and I only had it in fridge for 4 hours before serving.
            I did use a ready to use graham cracker crust and I toasted my pecans knowing it would create a richer flavor.
            I will make this again!
            Thank you for sharing.

        Butter rum extract, flavored liqueurs, molasses, Torani sugar free hazelnut, English toffee or caramel syrup, would all be worth trying as a maple syrup alternative.

        That's a good question. I don't know how you could incorporate german chocolate into the recipe. Not sure it would work because of the maple syrup in the pie. It seems like those two flavors might clash? Maybe it would be delicious for all I know. Maybe a chocolate drizzle?

          German chocolate is coconut caramel pecan. So instead of maple syrup you would add something like caramel, add coconut.... I would likely do a chocolate crust or chocolate shavings on top.

      This sounds delicious! I have a question though...In the past I've had trouble getting granulated sugar to dissolve enough in cream cheese to become a smooth mixture. Did you notice any sugar grit from the brown sugar? If not, how long did you cream the cheese and brown sugar? Thanks!

      Reply
      • Together As Family

        November 20, 2017 at 8:00 pm

        That's a great question! You can use powdered sugar instead of the granulated sugar OR make sure your cream cheese is soft before adding the granulated sugar to it and mixing. If you try and mix a colder block of cream cheese it will end up not mixing well which can cause the grainy thing you're talking about. Things mix better when they are room temperature. My trick is to place the cream cheese (unwrapped) on a microwave safe plate and let it cook for 15-20 seconds (depending on how powerful your microwave is). You don't want it melted and runny, you just want it soft and warmer. Hopefully that makes sense 🙂 I use granulated sugar in this recipe with the cream cheese trick and I never have problems with a grainy texture. But, again powdered sugar would be just find also. Hope that helps!

        I prefer to make this pie a day ahead of time so there would be no need to wake up early. I don't think it would freeze well but I have never tried it, so maybe it would?? I would suggest just making it the day ahead of Thanksgiving once you get to Ohio. Hopefully that will work. Good luck. Happy Thanksgiving.

            You can definitely try freezing this pie. I guess it comes down to personal preference. I don't freezer hardly anything because I don't like the texture of it once it's thawed. But if you don't mind it, then yes go ahead and freeze this pie 🙂

      This pie looks amazing, and I can’t wait to try it out for thanksgiving dinner, however I have a question,I was going to opt for the cool whip instead of the heavy whipping cream. If I do that, do I still add in the powdered sugar as well or is that only if I use heavy whipping cream?

        Good question! It really does not matter. I normally buy the deep dish frozen pie shells from the store. If you use the non deep dish then the pie will be taller. I've honestly probably used both kinds, and just not paid attention to what crust I was buying. I hope that helps!

      What could I use instead of maple syrup? We don't like maple. Could I use Karo syrup?

        I would use Kalhua, the liquor. I used to make brandy Alexander pie which is similar to this one but with a chocolate wafer crumb pie crust.

      Thank you for adding the note about the Cool Whip. I am allergic to dairy. I can use a non-dairy crème cheese but have not found a suitable substitute for whipping cream. I will try it this week at home but already thinking about the mission trip in southern Texas this summer. It should be great after a hard days work.

      Please correct your recipe to read NOT to use powdered sugar if you are using Cool Whip. If I had not read through the reviews I would have added the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Thank you.

        The recipe calls for homemade whipped cream. That is the recipe. In the notes section of the recipe I do say that if you choose to use Cool Whip then don't add the powdered sugar. Thanks for your feedback 🙂

      As an original Pecan Pie uses Karo Syrup, could that be used instead of the maple syrup? It sounds AMAZING and I can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for sharing!

        The maple adds such a delicious flavor so if you use karo (which it is the same consistency so it's probably fine) it may change the flavor of the pie slightly, either good or bad I am not sure cause I have never tried it 🙂 Enjoy!

      If this pie tastes as good Cold as the beaters did when I was making it, this will be a another favorite in my household! My family loves, LOVES pecan pie, and its a mutiny in my family if I don’t make it for the holidays. I found a ready-made Diamond pecan pie crust (and a walnut one) this week in our local grocery store. Knew it was going in my cart, and paired it with your pecan cream pie recipe. Simple recipe, don’t make any changes, and it was perfect for this ready made crust. Thanks for this new addition to my repoirtoir for the holidays!

      I loved this pie! I made it following the receipe exactly. Made the whiping cream (did not use Cool Whip). It was a big hit at Thanksgiving. It's perfect for people who are wanting an alternative to Pecan Pie. I am not a big Pecan Pie fan but I loved this pie. I will definitely be making this one again. It's perfect for Thanksgiving.

      This pie came out exactly as expected. It's pretty sweet! And a lot of filling! I may play with the recipe and make half or 1.5x the filling instead, but it's definitely a keeper! I used a shortbread crust but I think a regular pie crust may make a slightly less sweet? Yum! Great recipe!

      We're big fans of traditional pecan pie (my husband is from New Orleans)! This is FANTASTIC, and not just for the Fall baking season. Please don't let the need for pure maple syrup hold you up - it's a wonderful flavor addition for the filling. Like some others, I used a graham cracker crust. We LOVED this pie!

      For keto/ low carb substitutes, i most certainly replaced the maple syrup with sugar free pancake syrup and i can assure you that the pie was fantastic! I also replaced both sugars with swerve and used a pecan crust in place of a flour crust. This pie will be on my menu from now on! FANTASTIC!

      This was so delicious. It was a beautiful addition to our Thanksgiving table. It was a nice change from traditional pecan pie, which can be overly sweet, and It was much easier to make than traditional cheesecake. I have no doubt it will become a holiday regular.

      Hello
      Happy Saturday to ya,
      I just made this lovely lovely pie. Unfortunately we have to wait til tomorrow to eat it. I started to late in the day to enjoy it tonight. It looks just as amazing as yours. The only thing I did differently was the pie shell. I made my own. A maple pecan pie crust with just a touch of dark brown sugar.
      And I used cool whip for the piping around the pie. But everything else was 100% your deliciously looking pie recipe.
      OH MY goodness. I just know it's going to be amazing.
      Thank you for your time, & your expertise. And of course for sharing.
