I can't wait for you to try what I always bring out for the holidays—Pecan Pie Lasagna! It wraps up all that pecan pie goodness into dreamy layers that look awesome on the table. The nutty pecans, gooey filling, and buttery base taste unreal together. Bonus? You don't even have to bake it—this one's a crowd-pleaser every single time.
Heavenly Dessert Joy
This one's a standout—it turns out so fancy but is shockingly easy to whip up. Those swirls of cheesecake, crumbly graham layer, and the sticky pecan topper are a total show-off move. It's great for busy days since you can make it ahead and just relax.
Stuff You'll Grab
- Creamy Layer: Whipped topping, softened cream cheese, a little powdered sugar
- Topping: Extra pecans and more whipped topping just for looks
- Pecan Magic: Melted butter, lots of chopped pecans, vanilla, eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar
- Base: Melted butter with graham cracker crumbs

Ready to Stack the Layers
- Let It Firm Up:
- Tuck it into the fridge for a good few hours or leave it overnight if you can wait.
- Put on the Final Fluff:
- Spread a thick cloud of whipped topping and throw on your extra pecans—it’s your time to make it look great.
- Pecan Goodness Next:
- Stir brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter on the stove; crack in the eggs, pop in pecans and vanilla, let it cool off before layering it on.
- Smooth the Middle:
- Whip cream cheese and sugar, fold in the whipped topping, then slather it right over the crust.
- First Up—Crust:
- Stir graham crumbs with melted butter, press it down in your pan, then chill the whole thing ‘til it sets.
Stay Awesome
Chill before you serve and slice with something sharp for those nice clean edges. It'll keep in the fridge up to 4 days. I’d skip freezing—those dreamy layers won’t look their best.
My Pro Tricks
If you want a little more crunch, bake the crust first—just wait for it to cool before building the rest. You can swap in different cookies for the bottom layer too. And don’t rush that pecan mix—add the eggs slow and easy.

Common Questions
- → Can I prep this in advance?
Totally — just put it together up to 48 hours ahead and stash in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
- → Why do I have to heat up the pecan mix?
You want it nice and thick, plus it makes sure all the eggs are safely cooked through.
- → Could I swap out the pecans?
Go for it — walnuts or a handful of different nuts would totally work instead.
- → Is it freezer friendly?
Bumping it into the freezer’s not a great plan. The creamy layers like to separate once thawed.
- → Can I get the base even crunchier?
Definitely! Just pop the crust in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes, cool it off before you add the other layers.
