Hi there, food lover! 👋 If you’re looking for a show-stopping dessert that layers flavor upon flavor, you’ve just found it — Pecan Pie Lasagna. 🥧🍫 Imagine a no-bake layered treat with a buttery crust, creamy cheesecake filling, rich pecan pie layer, and a fluffy whipped topping. It’s everything you love about pecan pie, but with a soft, creamy twist that’s perfect for making ahead.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

- 2 tbsp brown sugar
For the cream cheese layer:
- 250g (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
For the pecan pie layer:
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 cups milk 🥛
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1½ cups chopped pecans 🌰
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- Extra pecan halves for decoration
Directions:
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill while preparing the next layer.
- Cream cheese layer: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat again. Fold in whipped cream until light and fluffy. Spread evenly over the crust.
- Pecan pie layer: In a saucepan, whisk brown sugar and cornstarch. Add egg yolks and milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over medium heat until thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in butter, pecans, and vanilla. Let cool slightly before spreading over the cream cheese layer.
- Topping: Spread whipped cream over the cooled pecan layer. Garnish with pecan halves.
- Chill at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing for neat layers.
