Notes

For a variation, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped cream mixture for extra flavor. You can also substitute the pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds, or mix them up for a variety of flavors. When making the filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. This pie can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
