👩🍳 How to Make Our No-Bake Pecan Cream Pie

Prepare the crust:
In a bowl, mix chopped pecans, melted butter, sweetener, and salt until well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the base of an 8-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge while making the filling. -
Make the filling:
Beat cream cheese and sweetener together until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla and protein powder. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. -
Assemble:
Spoon the cream filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle with extra crushed pecans for texture. -
Chill:
Refrigerate for 3–4 hours (or overnight) until firm and sliceable. -
Serve & enjoy:
Slice and serve chilled — every bite is rich, nutty, and completely satisfying.
