Pecan Cheesecake Pie is a time-saver and a sanity-saver when a last-minute dessert is called for.
One of the best things to happen to home baking was the creation of pre-made pie crusts. While homemade pie crusts aren’t necessarily challenging, saving a few minutes here and there during hectic holiday meal prep can be a lifesaver.
Frozen and refrigerated pie crusts hit supermarket shelves in the 1950s. Some were sold in rolled forms (like we see from Pillsbury today) and others were pressed into pie tins, offering an even more time-saving approach to home baking.
But, perhaps one of our favorite pie crust creations is the recently released shelf-stable, nut crusts from Diamond.
The crusts hit grocery stores in 2019 opening up a new world of possibilities for pie makers. According to Diamond’s website, they offer five flavors: walnut, pecan, chocolate, and seasonally available pumpkin pie spice and peppermint chocolate. “These flavorful, ready-to-eat crusts are made with pecans and walnuts and can hold up to hearty fillings for all types of pies, from cream to fruit to custard.”
We instantly fell in love with the pecan variety and found that it makes a delicious and stress-free base for our pecan cheesecake. Below is our recipe for Pecan Cheesecake Pie. It is rich, decadent and sure to be a favorite of pecan lovers everywhere. ENJOY!
