Pecan Cheesecake Pie – This luscious dessert is essentially a cheesecake on bottom with a pecan pie on top. So much deliciousness in one bite!
Pecan Pie. Cheesecake. Pecan pie and cheesecake together. Oh, my. Who could resist that?
I knew the minute I saw this recipe years ago in Southern Living Easy Entertaining that it would be a big hit at our house. And since it was a Southern Living recipe I knew that it would be very good.
Southern Living is, after all, the end-all be-all of everything good about living in the south. I have all their annual cookbooks going back to 1987. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed a recipe for a party or a special meal and I’ve gone straight to those cookbooks for inspiration.
This Pecan Cheesecake Pie is essentially a standard pecan pie recipe poured on top of a cheesecake layer. Even though it seems like there are lots of steps, it is really simple.
This is a pleasant change from the typical pecan pie and goodness gracious it is ever good. And, believe me I know pecan pies.
Since I grew up in pecan and peanut growing country, pecan pies made frequent appearances on my mother’s table. We always had pecans and peanuts in our house and I still keep both on hand all year round.

How to Make Pecan Cheesecake Pie
Fit the piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate according to the package directions. Fold the edges under and crimp as desired.
And, yes, I do use those refrigerated pie crusts from the grocery store. I can’t make a pie crust if I had to. Just not my thing.
It was a happy day for me when Pillsbury started selling these. They’re way better than the frozen ones.
Next, combine the cream cheese, 1 egg, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and salt.
Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into piecrust. Starting to look good already, isn’t it?
Next, chop the pecans and sprinkle them evenly over the cream cheese layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, remaining 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and pour the mixture over the pecans. Place the pie on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350 on the lowest oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes or until the pie is set. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour).
Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 2 days.
Enjoy!

Millican Pecan says
I love pecan pie. I love pecan cheesecake. What a great marriage where the two become one! Very nice.
jenna says
This is my very first time to try to make a pie! It was really good but runny, what could have happened?
Lana Stuart says
Hi Jenna! I’ve never had that happen with this pie, but just as a guess I’d say it didn’t bake quite long enough. I hope you’ll give it another try. It’s really, really good.
Maria Rivera says
Is there any other ingredient that I can use to substitute the corn syrup?
Lana Stuart says
You might try light molasses. I haven’t tried a substitute, so I can’t guarantee how it would work.
Heather says
Thanks so much for the super speedy reply! I’ve never made a pecan pie, so this will be a first for me! :) I’ll let you know how it goes.
Heather says
I can’t wait to make this, but I have a quick question. Did you leave the pecans raw or toast them?
Lana Stuart says
The pecans are left raw just like when making a pecan pie.
leanna says
This is such a great recipe!! My family loved it! Ive always read good things about dark corn syrup so i did half light corn syrup and have dark and it gave it more of a molasses taste. Thanks for the recipe its a family staple now:)
Alanna says
I’ve made this for Thanksgiving 3 years running and it’s a hit each time! Thank you :)
Lana says
We love it, too, Alanna! I made one last night in fact.
Donalyn says
that looks really good – bookmarking to try soon!
Kimberly says
I have made this 2 times in the past year and I have always gotten raves for it. Thank you for sharing this!! However, each time I make it, I forget that the layers flip-flop and it shocks me everytime!!
Jamie says
I love when people combine two pies to make one doubly good! And I think everything is better with pecans. Right?
Suzanne says
Yum you can’t go wrong with this duo. I love Southern Living cookbooks as well.
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
Yum, two of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts in one!
Cookin' Canuck says
Everything about this beautiful pie screams “Make me now!” Thanks so much for the inspiration, Lana.
Kalyn says
Sounds very good!
Susan Lewis says
Hello there! This looks very yummy! I found it when I Googled “Pecan Pie Cheesecake”
Your instructional photos are wonderful, I will be back to look for more things to make.
Keep up the good work.
Jackie says
Today I made it for the very first time, and it came out absolutely delicious! Although, my mother said it was too sweet. I didnt think so. I also wanted to ask any of you if when you poured the mix of corn syrup, 3 eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt if it was overflowing on top of the pie. For me it did. I believe it was cause my pie dish wasnt too deep.
Lana says
Jackie – The mixture does not overflow if you use a deep dish or larger pie pan.
Barbara Schieving says
I don’t love pecan pie, but this version looks over-the-top delicious!
Mariluh says
I LOVED your pie and love your blog.
It was easy and delicious!
Thank you for the great recipe!
Diane {createdbydiane.blogspot.com} says
Looks like a great pie! Nice to see it on PW’s website, my pie is there too :)
Kirby says
You couldnt ask for a better sounding pie than this! I think I’ll make it today!
Katrina says
Oh my, that sounds so good. I like pecan pie, but it’s almost too much for me, but switch it up with a hit of cheesecake and it sounds heavenly.
Jackie says
This sounds like a Paula Dean pie I made for a Halloween party. It was SO good. But people were expecting straight up pecan pie and were confused when they got cream cheese. Still awesome though.
A Kelly says
I found this on your blog last year and it has now become a must have for our family get togethers!! It not only is delicious it’s a quick fix too!! Thanks Lana!!
