Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ½ cup chopped pecans

  • cup butter, melted

  • cup white sugar

Cake:

  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

  3. 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.
