Cheesecake Stuffed Pecan Pie
Cheesecake Stuffed Pecan Pie has a crunchy sweet pecan pie top layer and a creamy cheesecake bottom layer. This cheesecake mixture gets poured into an unbaked pie crust in a 9 inch, deep dish pie plate. It’s important to use a deep dish pie plate for this because there’s so much going on with this pie, there’s no way it will all fit in a traditional pie plate.
The hardest part about this recipe is letting this pie cool completely. Let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours then chill it in the refrigerator for 2 more hours before cutting into it.
