Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine finely chopped pecans, melted butter, sugar, 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 oven and let cool.

2

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

3

Bake the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled pecan crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.

4

Cool and Chill

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
