The only thing better than classic pecan pie is Pecan Cheesecake Pie with the decadent caramel flavor of pecan pie filling, crunchy pecans and creamy cheesecake.
Pecan Cheesecake Pie
Okay. I'm pretty excited for this one. So. What's better than pecan pie?
Pecan pie mixed with cheesecake to make this amazing Pecan Cheesecake Pie! No, it's not a dream! These two amazing classics can become one decadent, delicious dessert.
With Pecan Cheesecake Pie, you get the warm, caramel flavor of pecan pie with the crunch of pecans AND the smooth, decadent creaminess of cheesecake. All in one. Hard to believe, I know. But it's true. And amazing.
You might notice in the photos the caramel filling of the pecan pie is on the bottom, but the directions say to put it on top. The directions are correct! The pecan pie filling will actually sink to the bottom of this Pecan Cheesecake Pie, and the pecans will stay on top. So the cheesecake is essentially sandwiched between the two elements of pecan pie. It will be the best sandwich of your life!

Made this and 2 of the directions are confusing . #2 "Place all ingredients for cheesecake in large mixing bowl". You can mix them in a small soupbowl and you won't have to wash your large mixing bowl between steps. #9"....until cheesecake is set and only slightly wiggly in the center" How can you tell what's going on with the cheesecake when it's under the pecan mixture?
Michelle says
Hi, Penny. 1. I think the bowl thing comes down to a matter of preference. I hate using an electric mixer and a small bowl because I find it makes a mess, so I usually actually use 2 separate large mixing bowls. But do whatever works best for you, as long as you don't mix the pecan pie and cheesecake ingredients in the same bowl at the same time! 🙂 2. I check it the same way I check my pecan pie when I take it out of the oven, which is to give the pie pan a gentle jiggle. If it's not jiggly at all, or just a little bit in the center, it's ready to take out. If the whole thing is jiggling like Jello, it needs some more cook time.
Hope that helps!

This looks delicious. Just one question....light corn syrup or dark corn syrup. The recipe doesn't specify. Thank you! We are excited to try it.
