Ingredients

Crust

  • 16 graham crackers
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter melted (1 stick)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese room temperature (3 bricks at 8 ounces each)
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Pecan Pie Topping

  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper. Spritz the paper with nonstick cooking spray.

Crust:

  • Place the graham crackers and sugar into a food processor. Pulse until the crackers are finely ground.
  • Add the melted butter and pulse again until the butter is evenly incorporated.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.

Cheesecake layer:

  • Beat the cream cheese at medium speed until light and creamy.
  • Add the sour cream and continue beating until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the sugar, eggs, and flour, beating until combined and smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Pecan pie layer

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Before removing the cheesecake layer from the refrigerator, make the pecan pie layer by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
  • Stir in the pecans and mix until well-coated.
  • Spoon the pecan pie layer over the cheesecake layer.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the middle no longer jiggles and the pecans are golden.
  • Cool for at least one hour at room temperature prior to covering and refrigerating overnight.
  • Prior to serving, cut into bars using a sharp knife.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
