Pecan Pie Pumpkin Cheesecake
This isn’t just any cheesecake; it’s where pecan pie meets creamy pumpkin cheesecake in a glorious union of flavors that will make your taste buds sing!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup pecan pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C), because we want everything to come together in a warm embrace!
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it looks like wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of your 9-inch springform pan. This is your crust—think of it as the tasty foundation of happiness.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s nice and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until everything is combined and silky smooth. Leave no lumps behind!
- Pour this luscious cream cheese mixture over your crust, spreading it evenly to achieve cheesecake perfection.
- Now, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. For the grand finale, pour the pecan pie filling right over it all. Yes, you heard me! Let it rain pecan pie goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set. Remember, patience with this cheesecake will bring delicious rewards.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door. Let your masterpiece cool inside the oven for an hour (trust me, it’s worth it!).
- Finally, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight—though I know waiting isn’t easy, it’s vital for flavors to meld and settle.
Once you’ve waited long enough to salivate, slice that heavenly cheesecake and serve. Watch as your family and friends lose their minds with delight. Enjoy your new title: the dessert legend!
