Ingredients:

• 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, salt, and maple syrup until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
5. Stir in 1 cup of finely chopped pecans into the mixture.
6. Spread the creamy pecan filling into the cooled pie crust.
7. Top the pie with the remaining chopped pecans for an extra crunch.
8. Chill the pie until it becomes firm, which usually takes at least 2 hours, but you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
9. Once firm, serve and enjoy your cool and creamy Pecan Pie!
