Ingredients
- For The Cheese Cake
3 large eggs
3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Cooking spray
- For The Crust
5 tbsp. melted butter
1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
pinch of kosher salt
- For The Pecan Pie Topping
1 3/4 c. whole or chopped pecans
4 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream
pinch of kosher salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325º and grease an 8″ or 9″ springform pan with cooking spray.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment), beat cream cheese and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Make Crust: In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Press mixture into prepared pan.
- Pour filling over crust. Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then remove aluminum foil and refrigerate cheesecake in pan until firm, at least 5 hours and up to overnight.
- Make Pecan Pie Topping: In a nonstick skillet over low heat, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly . Stir in cinnamon, heavy cream, pecans, and salt until completely coated, then remove from heat and let cool and slightly thicken.
- Release springform pan from cheesecake and spoon over cooled pecan pie topping.
