Ultimate Pecan Pie Cheesecake Recipe: Creamy Delight for Every Occasion

Pecan Pie Cheesecake that will Stop The Party! Let’s get into it!

 

Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Base:

3 Large Eggs (They’re not planning to escape, promise!)

2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (The superhero of baking)

1 3/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar (That sweet, sweet treasure)

1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (For that warm, cozy hug)

1/4 tsp Kosher Salt (Just a pinch of the sea in your dessert)

1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (The fairy godmother of flavors)

 

 

For the Crust:

1 Sleeve of Graham Crackers (A delicious army of crumbly goodness)

9 tbsp Butter (Because everything’s better with butter)

 

For the Creamy Dreamy Filling:

3 (8-oz.) Blocks of Cream Cheese (The star of the cheesecake show)

1/4 cup Heavy Cream (The luxurious addition)

1/4 cup Sour Cream (For that tangy twist)

1 3/4 cup Whole or Chopped Pecans (The nutty heroes)

Cooking Spray (To keep things non-sticky)

 

 

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Get it all hot and bothered to 163°C

Crust Creation: Smash those graham crackers into tiny pieces (pretend they’re your annoying alarm clock) and mix them with melted butter until they’re best friends. Press this deliciousness into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool (the crust needs a breather).

Pecan Magic: Spread those pecans on a baking sheet and let them toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; we don’t want any burnt heroes!

Cheesecake Creation: Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until it’s fluffy (like clouds on a breezy day). Add in the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Mix until it’s a smooth, creamy wonder.

Creamy Dream Team: Blend in the heavy cream and sour cream until they’re all part of this cheesy symphony.

Egg-cellent Addition: Beat those eggs (gently, they’re sensitive) and add them into the cheesy mix. Fold in those toasted pecans; they’re the surprise guests at this creamy party.

Bake Brilliance: Pour this creamy concoction over your cooled crust. Pop it in the oven for about 70-80 minutes. It should look slightly jiggly, like it’s telling a secret but not quite ready to spill it.

Chill Time: Let your masterpiece cool in the oven with the door cracked open. Then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (or overnight, if you’re into delayed gratification).

 

Serve and Indulge: Slice it up, admire your culinary prowess, and savor each delicious bite. Maybe even share it, if you’re feeling generous!

Brace for Compliments: Bask in the applause and adoration of your friends and family. You’ve just created a dessert masterpiece!
