 |
|
I am always looking for a great twist on a traditional pie for
Thanksgiving or Christmas. I found a few, my favorite being the Mystery
Pecan Pie (with cream cheese) . At first I thought it was a really unique
addition, but I made it for a Halloween party and it was a hit. The
mystery in this Mystery Pecan Pie is the delicious addition of cream
cheese!
1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs, divided
3/4 cup sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup light corn syrup
Unfold and stack 2 pie crusts; gently roll or press together. Fit into a
9-inch pieplate according to package directions; fold edges under, and
crimp Beat cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and
salt at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into
piecrust. Sprinkle with pecans. Stir together corn syrup, remaining eggs,
remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla; pour mixture
over pecans. Bake at 350 for 50 to 55 minutes or until set.

I think I am going to put it in a covered, traveling pie plate I found
here: http://www.pie-supply.com/pie-blog.html and take it to our
Thanksgiving dinner!
Cheers, Susan
