These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

Tips:

Use room temperature cream cheese: This will help the cream cheese blend smoothly with the other ingredients and create a creamy, rich filling.
Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing can cause the filling to become dense and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use high-quality pecans: Fresh, plump pecans will give the pie the best flavor.
Bake the pie until the center is set: The center of the pie should be slightly jiggly when you shake the pan. This will ensure that the pie is cooked through but not overcooked.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing: This will help the filling to set and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Southern Living's Cream Cheese Pecan Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, rich filling and crunchy pecan topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to ensure that your pie turns out perfectly: use room temperature cream cheese, don't overmix the filling, use high-quality pecans, bake the pie until the center is set, and let the pie cool completely before slicing.
