BUTTER PECAN CHEESECAKE
With a nutty graham cracker crust, creamy, slightly tangy filling, and salty-sweet butter pecan topping, this dessert is truly over the top. Although the rich butter pecan sauce really steals the show, you'll be amazed by the silky-smooth texture of this Butter Pecan Cheesecake. If you've had trouble baking cheesecakes in the past, the trick is to use a water bath, which prevents it from over baking and cracking. When making the filling, don't over beat the cream and eggs. Too much air in the mixture will cause the filling to rise too quickly as it bakes and crack. Although it will be hard to wait, the cheesecake needs to chill in the refrigerator at least eight hours (up to 24 hours) so that it can firm up enough to be removed from the pan easily and sliced cleanly. Don't rush this step, tempting as it may be. Butter Pecan Cheesecake is worth the wait and sure to become a new favorite.

Steps:
- Prepare the Crust: Heat 1/2 tablespoons of the melted butter in a small skillet over medium; add chopped pecans, and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Finely chop toasted pecans.
- While pecans cool, preheat oven to 325°F. Wrap outside (bottom and sides) of a 9-inch springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil; coat inside (bottom and sides) of pan with cooking spray. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cooled toasted pecans, and remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter in a medium bowl. Press crumb mixture on bottom and 1-inch up sides of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until crust is set and lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese in bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add sugars and flour, beating until smooth, about 1 minute. Add whole eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Beat in heavy cream and vanilla on low speed just until combined, about 1 minute. Pour filling over crust in prepared pan (it will be full).
- Place springform pan in a roasting pan. Place roasting pan on oven rack, and carefully pour in boiling water to reach halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake in preheated oven until center is almost set and jiggles slightly, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; remove aluminum foil. Let cheesecake cool until slightly warm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Prepare the Topping: Bring brown sugar, butter, cream, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Stir in pecan halves and pieces. Remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spoon warm topping evenly over slightly warm cheesecake, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around edges. Let stand until pecan mixture is set, about 30 minutes. Coat a piece of foil with cooking spray, and cover cheesecake; chill at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Run a knife around outer edge to loosen cheesecake from sides of pan; remove sides of pan.
BUTTER PECAN CHEESECAKE
I have made this cheesecake for years and it is always a big hit. Note: you will need a springform pan. It freezes well; thaw in refrigerator before serving.

BUTTER PECAN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE
It is a cheesecake that has a similar flavor to Butter Pecan Ice Cream. Now what could be greater than Cheesecake with Butter Pecan Ice Cream laced with carmel and a buttery pecan granola crust? I won 1st place of $2,500 on the KTLA Morning News Show in Los Angeles, CA. for this dessert. This contest was sponsored by the movie "Waitress". It's a lot of work but oh my, well worth it. I have not included some of my secret ingredients in order to keep it original but it is still good.

Steps:
- Bake pecans in 1/2 stick of butter in oven for 15 minutes Combine in blender the pecans, granola crumbs, flour and brown sugar, Reserve 1/3 cup of the granola mixture to put on the top of the cheesecake. Melt a half a cup of butter and mix it with the Granola mixture then put the rest of the mixture on the bottom and sides of a 10 inch springform pan pressing firmly. Place in the preheated (350) oven and bake for crust for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
- In a double broiler or a metal bowl steamed over hot water, place caramels in the bowl with the evaporated milk and stir constantly until completely melted stir in the butter. Pour caramel mixture over the bottom of the granola crust. Reserve approximately 1/2 cup or more for the batter. (I now make my caramel from scratch it's a lot easier to work with and not as hard as the candy caramels. If you know how to make good caramel from scratch I strongly recommend that instead).
- Do not let the caramel sauce touch the pan or it will stick and break the pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy then gradually add the sugar and mix it well at medium speed. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and butter flavoring. Add caramels to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the remaining roasted pecans. Add eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition.
- Pour batter over the caramel mixture. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the batter. Bake at 475 for 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 300 and bake for 55 minutes. Allow cheesecake to cool down in the oven with the oven off. Let cool then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving, preferably over night.
- This cheesecakes success required that you use a standard cheesecake water-bath to avoid cracking. Special instruction on cutting: Take a very sharp knife and run under hot water before each cut. Cut straight down and force the knife through the caramel because it will be very hard. The first cut is always the hardest. It gets easier with each cut.
