Description

Delight in a creamy and rich Maple Pecan Cheesecake—an easy recipe that brings together sweet maple and crunchy pecans for a delicious dessert experience.


Ingredients

  • Graham Cracker Crust: Forms the base of the cheesecake; buttery and slightly sweet.
  • Cream Cheese: Provides the creamy texture and richness of the cheesecake filling.
  • Maple Syrup: Adds the signature flavor; use real maple syrup for the best taste.
  • Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake; adjust to your taste.
  • Brown Sugar: Enhances the caramel flavor and provides depth.
  • Eggs: Binds the filling together and adds structure.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a delicate flavor that complements the maple and pecans.
  • Pecans: Chopped and toasted for crunch and nutty flavor; can also be used as a topping.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form your crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Fold in chopped pecans, then pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
  8. Before serving, toast extra pecans in a dry skillet and sprinkle on top.

Notes

  • Using room temperature ingredients ensures a smoother batter.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually to avoid cracks.
