Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1½ cups chopped pecans
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- For the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and chill for 10–15 minutes.
- For the cream cheese layer: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping and spread over the chilled crust.
- For the pecan filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter; stir until bubbling. Remove from heat and whisk in beaten eggs slowly to avoid scrambling. Stir in chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; let cool slightly.
- Layer the pecan filling over the cream cheese layer evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve cold by slicing into bars with a warm knife.
