BUTTER PECAN CHEESECAKE

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CRUST:

• 1 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

FOR THE PECANS:

• 2 cups pecan halves and pieces
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• pinch of salt

FOR THE FILLING:

• 16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:

TO MAKE THE CRUST:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter, and mix with a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be crumbly but should hold together when pinched.
3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.*
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned. Do not overbake, or the crust will become too hard. Set aside to cool.
