RICH CREAM CHEESE PECAN PIE
This is a 3 layer pie: the bottom crust, a creamy cheesecake-like layer, and a delicious pecan pie layer on top. Warning: this is very rich, and definitely NOT diet food. Especially good with a dollop of whipped cream. It might keep up to a week in the fridge, but it's never lasted that long at our house! Dark chocolate pieces may be used in place of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Instead of chopped pecans, trying arranging pecan halves in an eye-pleasing manner on top of pie.

CREAM CHEESE PUMPKIN PIE WITH PECAN CRUST
Steps:
- For Crust: Butter 9 inch diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor using on/off turns. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Add water and process just until moist clumps form. Transfer to large bowl. Add pecans and knead gently until pecans are incorporated and dough comes together. Press dough on bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly and keep refrigerated.) Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375. Line crust with foil; fill with beans or pie weights. Back until crust sides are firm, about 10 minutes. Remove beans and foil and bake until crust begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer crust to rack. Maintain oven temperature. For filling: Beat cream cheese and sour cream in large bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just to blend after each addition. Transfer 1/3 cup cheese mixture to small bowl. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and cloves to cheese mixture in large bowl and beat until blended. Spread pumpkin filling in crust. Drop reserved 1/3 cup cheese mixture by teaspoonfuls over pumpkin filling. Using tip of small sharp knife, gently swirl cheese mixture into pumpkin mixture in decorative pattern.

PECAN CREAM CHEESE PIE
Steps:
- 1. In a bowl, combine pecans, coconut and butter. Pour onto an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool. • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into pastry shell. Sprinkle with coconut mixture. Drizzle with caramel topping. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Tips:
- For a smoother filling, use a food processor to combine the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- If you don't have a food processor, be sure to beat the cream cheese and sugar together until very smooth, with no lumps.
- Use a medium-sized mixing bowl to combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon). This will help to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the filling. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before filling it.
- Be sure to allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese and pecans are a delicious combination that is perfect for a pie. The cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy, while the pecans add a nice crunch and nutty flavor. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
