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.

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup butter, melted
⅓ cup white sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
2 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, butter, and 1/3 cup white sugar in a food processor; pulse until evenly combined. Press mixture in the bottom and partly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix well; fold in 1 cup pecans. Pour cream cheese mixture over crust.
