Instructions

1. Bake the crust:
   Blind bake the pie crust according to the package directions. Set aside to cool completely before adding the filling.

2. Whip the cream:
   In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

3. Create the filling:
   In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt until the mixture is silky and smooth.

4. Combine and fold:
   Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Stir in 1 cup of the chopped pecans.

5. Assemble the pie:
   Pour the creamy pecan filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top, then sprinkle the remaining pecans evenly over the surface.

6. Chill and serve:
   Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, until firm and set.
