Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- ½ cup brown sugar (for topping)
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar until well mixed. Press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese with ¾ cup sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time; mix until just combined. Gently fold in chopped pecans.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust and bake for 50–60 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- For the topping, combine brown sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until melted; stir constantly for about two minutes.
- Once baked, pour the topping over the warm cheesecake. Let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
