Step 3: Prepare the Pecan Pie Filling
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated in the mixture.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
- Carefully pour the pecan pie filling over the cheesecake layer. The pecans will naturally float to the top, creating a beautiful nutty topping.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the pecan layer is set but slightly jiggles in the center.
Step 5: Cooling and Serving
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before refrigerating.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Slice and serve as is, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for the Perfect Pecan Cheesecake Pie
- Use room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth cheesecake layer.
- Avoid overmixing the eggs in the pecan filling, as this can create too much air and cause cracking.
- Let the pie cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
- For a richer flavor, toast the pecans for a few minutes before adding them to the filling.
