Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
⅔ cup sour cream
⅓ cup heavy cream
¾ cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
½ cup browned butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until everything is well combined and resembles wet sand.
Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden. Let it cool.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Add each egg one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
Add the sour cream and heavy cream, mixing until just combined. Fold in the browned butter and chopped pecans gently with a spatula.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour.
Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
