Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 10-inch graham cracker crust storebought (this is a larger size crust)
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip whipped topping

For the Pecan Pie Topping

  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a handheld electric mixer), combine cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add Cool Whip, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition just until combined.
  • Spread filling into graham cracker crust. Transfer to the refrigerator while you prepare the pecan pie topping.
  • Prepare pecan pie topping by combining butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to combine as the butter melts.
  • Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the brown sugar has dissolved completely.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to combine. Stir in the pecans.
  • Let the topping cool slightly in the pan for about 3-5 minutes, then remove the pie from the refrigerator and pour the topping over it.
  • Cover the pie with the plastic lid it came with, then return to the fridge to chill for 6 hours (or overnight) before serving.

Notes

  • Keep pie refrigerated until serving, then let it sit out for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  • This cheesecake keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, so it's a great make-ahead dessert.
