Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Pecan Pie Topping:

  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
  • Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the centers are set. Let cool completely.
  • For the pecan pie topping, combine brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.
  • Spoon the pecan mixture over the cooled cheesecakes.
  • Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the cheesecakes a day in advance and refrigerate them until ready to serve.
  • For added flavor, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the top.
  • Make sure to let the pecan topping cool slightly before adding to avoid melting the cheesecake.
