Rich Cream Cheese Pecan Pie Recipe

  • 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  1. In a small bowl, blend together cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/3 cup sugar, and salt. Mix by hand until mostly smooth. Spread mixture into the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  2. In another bowl, slightly beat 3 eggs. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; blend well. Fold in chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Very CAREFULLY pour corn syrup mixture over pecans. Cover pie crust edge with a strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until center is set. Cool completely. Store in refrigerator.
