This pecan cream pie is a fun change from the traditional pecan pie. With a light and decadent whipped creamy filling, this no bake dessert is sure to be a favorite for the holidays!

Pecan Pie is always a classic dessert for the holidays, but have you heard of pecan cream pie?

You just might fall in love like I did. In fact, I think pecan cream pie and pumpkin cream pie are in the running for being even more delicious than the classics.

This no bake style pie is made with a rich whipped cream and cream cheese filling, poured into a graham crust, and chilled in the fridge.

Not only is it super simple to make, but it frees up oven space and can be made in minutes then stored in the fridge until it’s time for Thanksgiving dessert.

Pecan Cream Pie Ingredients

• graham pie crust
• heavy whipping cream
• cream cheese
• powdered sugar
• pure maple syrup
• chopped pecans
• brown sugar

How to make Pecan Cream Pie

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the pecans on a baking sheet. Once the oven is preheated, bake the pecans for 5 minutes, until lightly toasted.

I love the subtle extra nuttiness that toasting pecans adds, but you can skip this step if you want to for a totally no bake pie and just use raw pecans instead.

Step 2: Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat with mixers until stiff peaks form.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth.

Step 4: Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine.

Step 5: Pour the filling into a 9 inch no bake graham pie crust, and smooth out the top.

Garnish and decorate if you want to, or serve it plain. Either way is going to be delicious!

Step 6: Cover and chill the pecan cream pie in the fridge until ready to serve, or at least 2 – 3 hours. I preferred the pie once it had been chilled longer, but it really is delicious either way. This would be a great dessert to make ahead and chill overnight in the fridge.

If you need a fun new Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert, you need to try this pie!

No bake pies are not just great for summertime.

This is a great sweet treat to make for the holidays or any kind of special occasion.

Can you just see how creamy it is? The homemade whipped filling is so yummy.

Now this is definitely a once in a while treat, but that’s what makes it so special.

I’ll never turn down a slice of this pecan cream pie!
