Ingredients
 

Graham Crust

  • 2.25 cup graham cracker crumbs from about 2 sleeves
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar

Pecan Pie Layer

  • 1.75 cup pecans, chopped
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cup whipped topping thawed

Pudding Layer

  • 6.8 oz instant vanilla pudding mix two 3.4 oz boxes
  • 3 cup cold whole milk

Topping

  • 2 cup whipped topping thawed
  • 0.5 cup pecans, chopped for garnish
  • 0.33 cup caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment, leaving a sling. Set aside.
  • Stir graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan. Chill while you prep the fillings.
  • Make the pecan layer: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, cream, and salt. Bring to a gentle bubble over medium heat and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring until glossy.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in chopped pecans and vanilla. Spread on a plate to cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
  • Gently spoon the cooled pecan mixture over the cream layer and spread without pressing down.
  • Whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thick. Let stand 1 minute, then spread over the pecan layer.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
  • Top with whipped topping. Finish with chopped pecans and a drizzle of caramel. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Variation: Swap vanilla pudding for butterscotch and add a pinch of cinnamon to the pecan layer for a cozy twist. Make-ahead tip: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance; add final whipped topping and caramel just before serving. Store covered in the fridge for 3 days, or freeze slices up to 1 month.
