Easy Pecan Cheesecake Pie
This recipe combines your favorite pecan pie traditional Thanksgiving recipe with a decadent cheesecake. Which means you get the best of both worlds.
Just looking at those pecans in a bowl makes me anxious for Thanksgiving and to enjoy this yummy cheesecake recipe again.
The cheesecake makes a perfect base for the sugary, sweet pecan glaze and topping.
It helps provide a smooth texture so it’s not an overly sugary bite, like traditional pecan pie can be.
Then you’ll add the pecan glaze topping, which is an amazing accent flavor to pair with your cheesecake.
Plus, when you cut into the cheesecake, the glaze will drip down the sides of the slice that makes you want to take a bite, and then lick the plate.
This sweet dessert is one you shouldn’t reserve only for Thanksgiving! It’s good year round.
