A deliciously unique dessert that combines the flavors of pecan pie and cheesecake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add ¾ cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
  8. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  9. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ¼ cup of sugar, corn syrup, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  10. Pour this pecan mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  11. Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  12. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try adding 1 tablespoon of bourbon to the pecan mixture.
  • If you prefer a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving.
