How to Make Five Layer Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Gently press one 9-inch unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 1 ½ cups pecan halves into the pie crust.
  4. Sprinkle ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the pecans.
  5. Drizzle ¼ cup caramel topping over the chocolate chips.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add 2 large eggs, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the caramel layer in the pie crust.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  13. Sift a light dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder over the pie before serving, if desired.
