4. Pour the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
7. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
Feel free to get creative with this recipe. If you’re not a fan of pecans, you can substitute them with walnuts or almonds. For a tropical twist, try adding some diced mango or a splash of coconut extract. If you want to cut down on sugar, opt for a sugar-free whipped topping. And for those who love a little extra sweetness, drizzle some caramel sauce on top before serving.
