  • 1 tbsp dark corn syrup, optional
  • 1 1/2 cups (160g) chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust – Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides. Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. Cover the outsides of the pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pecan Pie Filling – Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a saucepan, combine all pecan pie filling ingredients, boil, then pour into crust.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling – Prepare cheesecake batter and pour over pecan pie filling in crust.
  4. Add the Topping – Prepare topping, cool slightly, then spread over cheesecake.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother cheesecake batter.
  • Do not overcook the pecan pie filling as it may become too firm.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracking.
  • The topping should be spreadable but not too warm when added to the cheesecake.
