Pecan Cheesecake Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Pecan Pie Layer:
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and spread it into an even layer.
Prepare the Pecan Pie Layer:
In another bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
Stir in the pecan halves.
Gently spoon the pecan mixture over the cheesecake layer, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed.
Bake the Pie:
Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the pecan topping is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve:
Carefully remove the pie from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. Optional: top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
