Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. For the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a food processor. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press into the prepared dish and bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
  3. For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth. Pour over the baked crust and bake for another 20-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  4. To prepare the pecan topping, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, butter, salt, and vanilla in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring; then add chopped pecans.
  5. Spread the pecan mixture over the cheesecake layer and return to the oven for an additional 40 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight for best results.
