10 Servings

Ingredients

For the Topping

  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup pumpkin butter

For the Crust

  • 1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust

Instructions
 

Prepare the Topping

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and softened butter. Using a fork or pastry blender, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer at high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and continue mixing until well incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Stir in the pumpkin butter and mix until smooth and uniform.

Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the prepared cheesecake filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula to ensure even distribution.

Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cheesecake on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center jiggles slightly when gently shaken.

Add the Topping

  1. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the oven and evenly sprinkle the prepared pecan topping over the surface. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the topping has melted slightly and is golden.

Cool and Chill

  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set fully.

Notes

To make this cheesecake gluten-free, substitute the graham cracker crust with a gluten-free version. Ensure that all other ingredients, such as the pumpkin butter and brown sugar, are certified gluten-free for a safe and delicious dessert.
