Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans for garnish
  • caramel sauce for drizzling

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • refrigerator

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and beaten eggs over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans. Let cool slightly.
  4. Spread the pecan filling evenly over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pecan layer. Garnish with chopped pecans and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  6. Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate overnight so the layers firm up beautifully. Try swapping graham crackers for gingersnaps or vanilla wafers for a flavor twist. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the pecan layer for extra warmth.
