Pecan Pie Lasagna

1. Chill the lasagna: Cover the lasagna with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the layers to set and meld together, ensuring a firmer texture and enhancing the flavors. The lasagna will be easier to slice once it has fully chilled.
2. Serve and enjoy: Once the pecan pie lasagna has chilled and set, remove it from the refrigerator. Slice it into squares or rectangles for serving. The rich layers of creamy filling, sweet graham cracker crust, and caramelized pecans create a dessert that’s both decadent and satisfying. Serve this dessert on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

• For a richer flavor, you can toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. This step will bring out the nutty flavor even more!
• If you prefer a different type of crust, you can experiment with other crushed cookies such as digestive biscuits, gingersnaps, or even Oreo crumbs for a chocolatey twist.
• This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for parties or holiday gatherings. The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together, improving the taste!
• If you want to make this dessert a little lighter, you can substitute the heavy cream in the creamy layer with a lower-fat whipped topping or Greek yogurt, though the texture will be slightly different.
