Pecan Surprise Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) pie shell
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups chopped pecans
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
step 2: In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add 1/3 cup sugar and beat until smooth. Thoroughly mix in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Do not overbeat. Spread mixture into pastry shell. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
step 3: In a medium bowl, combine 3 beaten eggs, corn syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix until incorporated but not frothy. Pour mixture over pecan layer.
step 4: Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until filling is set and pecans are browned. Pie will be quite high, but will settle as it cools.
