The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that balance richness and texture. I always opt for fresh, high-quality pecans—they’re the star here, bringing that unmistakable crunch and depth of flavor. When it comes to the mascarpone, choose full-fat for the creamiest layers, and don’t shy away from a touch of vanilla to brighten the whole dessert. I’ve tried using store-bought caramel sauce in a pinch, but homemade always elevates the final result, making it taste like a real celebration on your plate.

  • 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup corn syrup (or substitute with maple syrup for a natural twist)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans and set aside.
  4. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. This creamy layer balances the sweetness beautifully.
  6. Start layering: spread a thin layer of the mascarpone mixture on the bottom of the dish, followed by 3 noodles, then half the pecan mixture. Repeat layering once more, ending with noodles topped by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  8. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set. This step is crucial—patience pays off here!
