Description

This no-bake Pecan Pie Lasagna is creamy, nutty, sweet, and irresistibly layered with graham crackers, fluffy whipped cream, pecan pie filling, and a luscious cream cheese layer. It’s the ultimate holiday or potluck dessert with zero oven time required!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ sleeves graham crackers (about 14 full crackers), divided
  • ½ cup chopped pecans (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
  • Pecan Pie Filling:
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
  • Whipped Topping:
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, whipped
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • Optional: Use 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping instead of homemade

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt. Stir and bring to a bubble over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, then stir in pecans and maple syrup. Let cool completely.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Line the bottom of an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with graham crackers.
  6. Spread half the cream cheese mixture, then half the pecan filling over the crackers.
  7. Repeat layers: graham crackers, remaining cream cheese mixture, and remaining pecan filling.
  8. Top with whipped topping made from whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Optional: drizzle with caramel or maple syrup.

Notes

Let the pecan filling cool fully before layering to prevent melting. For clean slices, chill overnight and use a warm knife. Great for make-ahead holiday desserts!
