Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Medium bowl
- Large bowl
- Wire rack
Ingredients
Crust Layer
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Honey Maid recommended
- 0.33 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Pecan Filling Layer
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted
- 0.33 cups light corn syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until everything is well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the ½ cup of granulated sugar, beating until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pecan halves, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Make sure everything is well mixed.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Then, carefully pour the pecan filling over the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center – it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Let the lasagna cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Notes
Instead of graham crackers, try using a digestive biscuit crust. You can also add a layer of chocolate between the cream cheese and pecan layer. Different nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts can also be used.
