- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar

- Spread the creamy pecan filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Top the pie with the remaining chopped pecans for an extra crunch.
- Chill the pie until it becomes firm, which usually takes at least 2 hours, but you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
