Do you like pecan pie? Do you like cheesecake?
If YES, then this simple, EASY-TO-MAKE recipe that combines both is for you!
It is so-oo good!
SO EASY!! All you do is add layers to the pie shell!
It does its magic while it bakes.
I have been making this since the 1970’s when my friend Shirley first made it. She warned how rich it was as she handed over a piece!
It’s an oldie-but-goodie recipe that is a treasure! Definitely decadent, but people sure do love it! I cut the pieces small !!
Thanksgiving is a great time to feature this very special pie!
See the pictures in the slideshow to see how EASYit is to put together.
Enjoy!
