Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil to avoid leaks.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each just until combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let it cool completely.
- While cheesecake cools, prepare pecan topping: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and eggs over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring constantly until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.
- Once cheesecake is completely cool, pour pecan topping over it.
- Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight.
- Using room temperature cream cheese will ensure a smoother batter.
- You can substitute chopped pecans with other nuts if desired.
