Ingredients
Cheesecake layer:
1 refrigerated pie crust (you can make your own if you want)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
Pecan layer:
2/3 cup dark corn syrup
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup pecans, roughly broken
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Spray a 9 inch pie pan with non stick baking spray.
- Press the pie crust into the pie plate and crimp the edges. Set aside. (Do not bake.)
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg and beat again.
- Spread in the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.
- Whisk together dark corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla.
- Stir in pecans.
- Gently spoon the mixture over the cheesecake layer.
- Cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of foil so it doesn’t burn.
- Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool completely. It will be puffy when it comes out, but it will sink as it cools. Keep refrigerated. Cut into 12 slices.

my two favorites. I am going to have to process this one.
Singles tip: if you don’t want to bake a whole pie (because you will eat it all!) go to a church bazaar and get your pecan or rhubarb buzz there.
Hi Tawra,
Love watching you and Mike on UTUBE!
I live in Canada, and I was wondering what I could use as a vegetable shortening, other than lard.
I’m allergic to soybean, and every vegetable shortening here contains it
I too have fibromyalgia, so I really understand your struggles.
But you always to have a smile on your face, and Mike always is empathetic.
Take care of yourselves.Thanks, June Mallam
You can use margarine too. Also try using what ever else you usually use in place of vegetable shortening in other recipes. And thank you June this is such a sweet comment. We do appreciate it.
I use Earth Balance butter replacement. It’s delicious and works just as well as butter and shortening. Palm oil shortening is also a great alternative.
Can light corn syrup be used instead of dark?
Yes you can. Your pie will just be a little lighter in color
