Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a greased springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes; cool completely.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Incorporate eggs one at a time until silky. Pour over cooled crust.
  3. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with water to create a steam bath. Bake for 50–60 minutes until edges set but center jiggles slightly. Cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least four hours.
  4. For the topping, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Stir in pecans; cool slightly before pouring over chilled cheesecake.
  5. Chill again for 30 minutes before serving.
