Description
A no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy, nutty, caramel goodness inspired by traditional pecan pie and layered desserts like tiramisu.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups whipped topping, divided
- 1 can (about 2 cups) pecan pie filling
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs (about 2 cups). Mix with 1/2 cup melted butter until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the chilled crust.
- Spread 1 can (or about 2 cups) of pecan pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer. Be gentle to avoid mixing the layers.
- Spread another 2 cups of whipped topping over the pecan pie layer. Smooth it out with a spatula.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped pecans over the top, then drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
Let the dessert chill for at least 4 hours for clean slices. Use fresh pecans for the best flavor, and adjust sweetness if using homemade pecan pie filling.
