Ingredients:
(1) (9 inches) pie shell
(1) (8 oz) package cream cheese softened
⅓ cup white sugar
(1) egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
(1 ⅓) cups chopped pecans
(3) eggs, beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
¼ cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add 1/3 c of sugar and beat until smooth. Mix in an egg and a tsp of vanilla extract, mix well. Do not overbeat. Spread the mixture into the pastry shell. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
3. In a medium bowl, add and combine (3) beaten eggs, corn syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, a tsp of vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix until incorporated but not frothy. Pour mixture over the pecan layer.
4. In a preheated oven, bake until the filling is set and pecans turn brown, for 35 to 45 minutes. The pie will be quite high but will settle as it cools.
Note:
Much like any cheesecake recipe, you’ll need to prepare ahead because you need enough time to cool the baked cheesecake before moving to the refrigerator to set it up overnight. The cheesecake can be baked up to four days before Thanksgiving, but do the pecan pie topping the day you decide to serve. Pour it over the top, and if you like, you can also chill it again.
