Cheesecake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheesecake Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Pecans

    Fold in the chopped pecans into the cheesecake filling.

  4. 4

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

  5. 5

    Cool and Chill

    Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool for about an hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with additional pecans and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired before slicing and serving.
