  • Total Time: 100 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 10 TBSP Unsalted butter, melted
  • 32 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup Sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups Brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream (for topping)
  • 2 1/2 cups Pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup Brown sugar, then mix in melted Unsalted butter until resembling wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a solid crust and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  4. For the filling, beat the Cream cheese until smooth, gradually add 1 cup Brown sugar, then stir in Sour cream, Heavy cream, and Pure vanilla extract.
  5. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, mixing well after each, followed by Ground cinnamon.
  6. Pour half of the filling into the crust, top with half of the pecans, layer with the remaining filling, and finish with the rest of the pecans.
  7. In a saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups Brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream until thickened, then pour over the cheesecake layer.
  8. Bake for about 1 hour until set but with a slight jiggle in the center. Cool in the oven for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. To serve, remove from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy! Enhance with whipped cream or chocolate sauce if desired.

Notes

Allow cheesecake to cool completely before storing. Keep refrigerated for up to a week or freeze for up to two months.
