Cream Cheese Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is one of my favorite pie to make for many reasons. I make it every year during the holidays. Is a family “most requested” dessert, specially if it has chocolate chips in it. I actually haven’t made it without chocolate, until now. Every year for my brother in law’s birthday I make him a Chocolate Pecan Pie. It’s always sweet to see how happy he gets when I arrive with pie in hand. This year I have changed up the recipe to make it even more indulgent.

Here is a new extreme take on my ever so traditional chocolate pecan pie and if you have only had the pecan pie without the chocolate go and try it too. You will be changed forever and may not even want it any other way afterwards. Until you try my Cream Cheese Pecan Pie!

It may have been because it’s #NationalPieDay or as you may have seen it on social media #NationalPiDay. But I couldn’t resist making a pie today. My girls always get excited for pie day. It’s super fun following the hashtag on social media and see what others are making. This is a great way to follow other food lovers and grab some ideas for those potluck parties. They happen year round. Think Easter family gatherings, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day at your parents or in-laws and don’t even forget the holidays. Potlucks during the holidays is a must. So be smart, grab some ideas and save the recipes for later.

Now tell me what is your favorite pie?
