Description
Indulge in the creamy richness of Caramel Pecan Lasagna Squares, featuring layers of graham crackers, cream cheese, and crunchy pecans, all drizzled with buttery caramel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, mixing until fully incorporated. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch pan to form an even crust.
- Make the cream cheese layer: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract.
- Layer your dessert: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, drizzle half of the caramel sauce, and sprinkle half of the chopped pecans.
- Repeat the layers: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture, drizzle with the leftover caramel sauce, and sprinkle the remaining pecans.
- Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve cold.
Notes
Make-ahead tip: Prepare these squares a day in advance. They taste even better after sitting overnight. Common pitfalls: Ensure cream cheese is softened and allow squares to chill properly before cutting.
