Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup melted butter
Cream Cheese Layer
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups whipped topping divided
Pecan Filling
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 units eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust.
  2. In another bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and 1 cup of the whipped topping. Mix until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the crust.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well and cook over medium heat until nice and thick, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Pour the warm pecan mixture over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
  5. Finally, spread the remaining whipped topping over the pecans to finish off the layers.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, so it sets well before serving.

Notes

Make sure to let the lasagna chill in the fridge long enough so it holds together well when cut. You can swap out the graham crackers for crushed cookies for a different flavor. Adding chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top can enhance the dessert.
