Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Pecan Cheesecake Pie is a fun and rewarding process! First, I often start by preheating my oven to 325°F (160°C) so it’s ready to go when I’m done mixing. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. The smell of cream cheese and sugar together is one of my favorite scents in the kitchen! Once that’s done, I add in the vanilla extract, beating it until fully incorporated.
