Description

Enjoy these Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars, a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake and rich pecan pie on a buttery graham cracker crust. They are perfect for holidays, potlucks, or any occasion where you want to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cheesecake layer:
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the pecan pie topping:
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/3 cup melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Mix in the eggs one at a time until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chopped pecans, corn syrup, brown sugar, and 2 tbsp melted butter until fully blended.
  8. Gently spoon the pecan pie topping mixture over the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown. If the pecans brown too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil.
  10. Let the Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars cool completely to room temperature.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing.
  12. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For the best texture, allow the Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars to chill overnight to set completely.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps in the cheesecake layer.
  • Toasting the pecans before adding them to the topping will enhance their nutty flavor.
  • For the cleanest slices, use a sharp knife that has been warmed in hot water and wiped dry.
  • Allow the bars to cool thoroughly before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
