Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Layer:
    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pecan Pie Topping:
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup corn syrup
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • For the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden and set. Let it cool while preparing the cheesecake layer.
  • For the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  • For the pecan pie topping: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
  • Pour the pecan topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and the pecan topping is bubbling. Let the bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
  • These bars can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
