How to Make Butter Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter. Add 1 cup of pecan halves and cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
- Transfer the pecan mixture to a heatproof bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the cooled pecan mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Garnish with additional pecan halves, if desired.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
