Description
A delightful dessert combining layers of cream cheese, whipped topping, and toasted pecans, reminiscent of classic pecan pie, offering a deliciously sweet and nutty flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a glass or baking dish to form a crust layer.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully integrated.
- Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture over the crumb crust layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In another bowl, combine the toasted chopped pecans, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are mixed well. Carefully spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to indulge, slice the lasagna into squares and garnish with additional whipped topping and pecans for an extra touch.
