Description

Delightful individual desserts combining the rich flavors of pecan pie with creamy cheesecake, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a standard 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the crushed graham crackers, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix well. Press this mixture into the bottom of each liner to form your crust.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, sour cream, and cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Add the beaten eggs and mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the filling over the crusts in the cupcake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until set.
  6. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir in cinnamon, salt, heavy cream, and chopped pecans. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. Once the cheesecakes are baked and slightly cooled, top each cheesecake with the pecan mixture. Allow them to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Can enhance with whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
