A decadent dessert that layers creamy cheesecake filling, buttery pecan pie goodness, and a crisp crust, creating a show-stopping treat that's perfect for holidays or any special occasion.
Ingredients
1 package of no-bake lasagna noodles
1 cup heavy cream
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whipped topping
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the no-bake lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then set them aside to cool.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the whipped topping and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the mixture to thicken.
- Add the chopped pecans to the saucepan and stir to coat them with the syrup mixture. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the cheesecake mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread a layer of the pecan mixture on top.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
- Cover the lasagna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate chips, if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- To save time, you can prepare the cheesecake mixture and pecan layer ahead of time.
- Ensure to refrigerate the dessert for the recommended time to allow proper setting and flavor infusion.
- The dessert can be customized with additional toppings like caramel drizzle or extra pecans.
