ingredients
-
Pecan Filling
- 1 cup sugar
- 2⁄3 cup dark Karo syrup
- 1⁄3 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon salt
-
Cheese Cake Filling
- 24 ounces room temp cream cheese
- 1 1⁄4 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 4 eggs
- 2⁄3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
directions
- Make a graham cracker crust and pat it into a 9 inch spring form pan. Bake at 400 for 8 minutes. Cool.
-
Pecan Filling:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into crust and set aside.
-
Cheesecake Filling:
- Reduce oven to 325°. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese at medium speed until creamy. Add brown sugar and flour and beat until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Stir in cream and vanilla. Pour over pecan filling. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in oven with the door closed for 1 hour. Remove from oven and run a knife along the outside edges to loosen cheesecake from sides of pan. Let cool. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- **Note: I always end up having a mushy crust whenever I try to do a water bath for my cheesecakes - I guess I just don't wrap the pan well enough in foil. This time I had a Pyrex dish filled with very hot water on the bottom rack while the cheesecake baked on the top rack, and I did not have a single crack!
