@.the.recipe.rabbi: Recipe: 🍂 BROWN SUGAR PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE BARS Three layers of fall goodness: toasted pecan-graham crust, creamy vanilla cheesecake, and a gooey brown sugar pecan topping with a little bourbon, warm spice, and flaky salt. INGREDIENTS For the crust 13 whole graham crackers ¾ cup toasted pecans 3 tbsp light brown sugar ½ cup melted butter ½ tsp vanilla ¼ tsp kosher salt For the cheesecake 24 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened 1 cup sour cream 1 cup granulated sugar 4 large eggs 1 tbsp all-purpose flour 2 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp salt For the brown sugar pecan topping 1¾ cups pecans, toasted and chopped ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed ¾ cup heavy cream ½ cup butter ½ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp salt 1 tbsp bourbon Flaky sea salt, for finishing LET’S GET INTO IT Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pulse the graham crackers, toasted pecans, and brown sugar in a food processor until finely crumbed. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth. Pour over the warm crust and gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle. Set aside to cool. For the topping, combine the toasted chopped pecans, dark brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and stir in the bourbon. Let it cool for a few minutes, then spread over the cheesecake. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt. (Optional) Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing — longer is even better. TIP: Use a serrated knife and wipe it clean between cuts for those pretty layers. Save this one for Thanksgiving, a fall dinner, or whenever pecan pie and cheesecake both sound too good to choose between. 🍁 #PecanPieCheesecake #CheesecakeBars #FallRecipes #FallBaking #PecanRecipes
