Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar together on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine 2 bars of softened full-fat cream cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of real maple syrup. Blend the ingredients on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the airiness intact. Add in 1 cup of finely chopped pecans and stir until evenly distributed.
- Carefully pour the creamy filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped pecans on top.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours to allow it to set properly.

Notes
Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing. Use chilled equipment when whipping the cream. Do not rush the chilling process; refrigerating for at least 4-6 hours is key to achieving the perfect texture.
