Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Stir in chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt.
Gently fold in whipped cream until just combined.
Pour filling into the prepared crust. Sprinkle additional chopped pecans over the top.
Chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Notes
For a maple pecan variation, add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the cream cheese mixture.
This pie can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Consider using a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor profile.
