Easy Pecan Pie Cheesecake

This recipe combines your favorite traditional pecan pie Thanksgiving recipe with a decadent cheesecake. Which means you get the best of both worlds. In one amazing dessert that will be a show stopper!

Just looking at those pecans in a bowl makes me anxious for Thanksgiving and to enjoy this yummy cheesecake recipe again.

This pecan pie cheesecake is flavored and layered with the brown sugar sauce and pecans.

The cheesecake makes a perfect base for the sugary, sweet pecan glaze and topping. It offers a clean palette for all that flavor.

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 pecan pie cheesecake dessert is one you shouldn’t reserve only for Thanksgiving! It’s good year round.

Ingredients

Crust:

• 1/2 stick butter (4 tbls)

Instructions

1. Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter. Spread in a pie pan, pressing to make a firm crust coating the bottom and sides of the pan.

5. Melt brown sugar and butter for topping in a small pan over medium heat until bubbly, stirring frequently. Pour in heavy cream and pecans, continue to stir for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
6. Remove from heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then spread over cheesecake.
