Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add half of the toasted pecans and fold until evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Before serving, garnish with remaining toasted pecans and optional toppings like whipped cream or caramel.
