  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with butter or shortening and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, pulse graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, and brown sugar until fine crumbs form.
  3. Slowly add melted butter on low speed and mix until crumbs resemble wet sand.
  4. Press crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze for 20 minutes until set.

  6. Add heavy cream and continue beating until combined.
  7. Gently fold in whipped topping without overmixing.
  8. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to set.

  11. Arrange pecan halves on top towards the center and drizzle caramel sauce generously over the pecans and edges.
  12. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up. Use high-quality caramel sauce for a richer topping. Toast pecans lightly before adding for enhanced flavor.
