Ooey Gooey Pecan Cheesecake Bars

I am telling you – make these. They are sinfully delicious! The cheesecake isn’t too sweet, it’s perfect. And it’s not hard to make! These bars are by far my very favorite cheesecake recipe on the blog! You can use halved pecans instead of the chopped if you’d like.

If you love pecans, then you will love these Pecan Sugar Cookies , Candied Pecans , Mini Pecan Pie Cheesecakes , Toffee Butter Pecan Cake Mix Cookies , Pecan Pie Overnight French Toast , Mini Pecan Pies , and Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler , too!

1 cup Sugar

2 Eggs + 2 Egg Yolks

How to Make Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a food processor, combine 2 packages graham crackers, 2 tsp flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 12 tbsp melted butter to make the crust. Pulse until you have graham cracker crumbs and the mixture is well combined.

Pour mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven after 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the cheesecake filling by beating 32 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Then add 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks, one at a time, beating into the cream cheese mixture after adding each one until smooth.

Then add in 1 tbsp vanilla and 1/4 cup sour cream and beat until smooth.

Pour over graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Bake for 40 minutes.

After the cheesecake is removed from the oven, make the pecan pie topping by adding 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1 cup brown sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly.

Once the sauce has reached boiling, add in 1/2 cup heavy cream and continue to stir continuously for 4 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla and 2 cups chopped pecans. Stir the mixture for 5 minutes then pour over the cheesecake and spread evenly.

Allow the cheesecake to completely cool before serving.
