Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna and Base Layers

  • 1 package of no-bake lasagna noodles

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping

Pecan Pie Syrup and Topping

  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Garnish

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Noodles: Cook the no-bake lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then set them aside to cool completely. This step ensures the noodles are pliable and ready for layering.
  2. Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined and set this mixture aside for layering.
  3. Prepare Pecan Pie Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, and salt, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
  4. Add Pecans: Stir in the chopped pecans to coat them well with the syrup mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors, then remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. Assemble Lasagna – First Layer: Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Then, place a layer of the prepared lasagna noodles over the cheesecake mixture.
  6. Layer Pecan Mixture: Spread an even layer of the warm pecan pie syrup and pecans over the noodles, creating the rich pecan filling layer.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering by spreading another layer of lasagna noodles, followed by the cheesecake mixture. Finish with the remaining cheesecake mixture on top, creating a luscious and creamy final layer.
  8. Chill to Set: Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up for easy slicing.
  9. Add Optional Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Ensure the lasagna noodles are fully cooled before assembling to prevent melting the cheesecake mixture.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the syrup.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead for convenience.
  • Optional chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped chocolate or drizzled melted chocolate for variation.
