BUTTER PECAN CHEESECAKE image

Got this recipe in the mail from the folks at Taste of Home (their photo). My mother loved the flavor of butter pecan. I wish she was here--I'd make it for her. 06-16-14

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c butter, melted
FILLING:
3 pkg (8 oz.ea.) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 c sugar
2 c (16 oz.) sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp butter flavoring
3 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2. Place springform pan on a double thickness of heavy duty foil (about 18 inches square). Securely wrap foil around pan.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and butter flavoring. Add eggs, beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in pecans. Pour into crust, sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Place springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 inch of hot water to larger pan.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 325ยบ oven for 70-80 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan.
