Pecan Pie Lasagna Delight (Print Version)

Creamy layers of pecan, cheesecake, and graham cracker crust create a sweet, memorable dessert.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 2 cups crushed graham crackers
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

→ Cream Cheese Layer

04 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 2 cups whipped topping

→ Pecan Topping

08 - 1 cup chopped pecans
09 - 1 cup brown sugar
10 - 1/2 cup corn syrup
11 - 3 large eggs
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, blend crushed graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the base of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a uniform layer.
02 - Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped topping until fully combined.
04 - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, smoothing to edges.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Stir in chopped pecans.
06 - Pour pecan mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish, ensuring the top is fully covered.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pecan layer is set and surface appears slightly bubbly. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
08 - Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Notes:

01 - For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts. Ensure each layer is completely cooled before adding the next for best results.
