Ingredients
Scale
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ cup salted butter, melted
⅓ cup salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups pecans, chopped
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup salted butter
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Line a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the crust into the prepared springform pan, coming up the sides of the pan about halfway.
Place the crust into the freezer to chill while preparing the filling.
Melt ⅓ cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Combine sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and pecans, then add to the melted butter. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until boiling, then reduce to low and simmer until thickened. Allow to cool for 30 minutes and pour over the chilled crust.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, then mix in salt and flour. Stir in vanilla and eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream. Pour over the pecan filling.
Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil. Place in a larger pan, add water to create a water bath, and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let sit for 30 minutes, then slightly crack the door for another 30 minutes.
Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Melt together butter and brown sugar, simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Add pecans and spoon over the cheesecake.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.
Use a water bath to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Chilling overnight enhances the flavors and texture.
