Ingredients
6 ounce (9-inch) ready-made pecan crust
16 ounces cream cheese, room-temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 cup toasted finely chopped pecans, divided (3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)
Instructions
Remove the plastic lid from the pecan crust and set aside for later storage.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar on medium-low speed for about 1 minute until smooth and fluffy.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, and beat for another 30 seconds until fully combined.
Fold in half (4 ounces) of the whipped topping until no streaks remain.
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the toasted chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture evenly into the pecan crust.
Top with the remaining whipped topping and spread evenly to the edges.
Garnish the center with the remaining 1/4 cup of pecans, leaving about 1 inch around the edge.
Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
The reserved plastic lid can be used to cover the pie for storage.
Pie can be made a day in advance for best results.
