Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

On a lightly floured surface, unroll 1 pie crust. Brush lightly with water. Place the second pie crust atop the first; gently press together to seal. Carefully transfer the double crust to a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges decoratively. (15 minutes)

03

Step

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the cheesecake filling evenly with pecan halves. (10 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and rum extract until well combined. Gently pour this mixture over the pecan layer, ensuring even distribution. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil. (50 minutes)

06

Step

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers. (60 minutes)

For a deeper rum flavor, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of dark rum to the pecan filling.
To prevent a soggy crust, you can blind bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the fillings.
Chopped pecans can be used if you prefer, but the halves add a nice visual appeal.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.

    The crust came out perfectly! The trick of layering the two crusts together is genius.

  • Kelsie Mclaughlin

    This pie was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The cheesecake layer adds a wonderful creamy contrast to the pecan filling.

  • Ryann Terry

    I added a shot of dark rum, and it really enhanced the flavor. Will definitely make this again!

  • Cecilia Cole

    Next time, I'll try toasting the pecans beforehand to bring out their nutty flavor even more.
