Instructions
Directions: * Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and cinnamon in a bowl. Place in a lined, lightly greased 9” springform pan. Press crumbs down and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 min at 350° F. * Pecan Pie filling: You will make only the filling, following the exact measurements above. Melt butter + brown sugar in a pan on medium heat. Add in heavy cream and honey and stir till combine. Add in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and mix in. Pour pecans into the mixture and stir till coated and let mixture bubble slightly. Turn off heat and let cool till it thickens a bit! * Remove crust from oven and start to make cheesecake filling. * Beat cream cheese till smooth. Add in sugar and beat for 2 mins till smooth. Add one egg at a time, just till incorporated. Add in Greek yogurt and beat for 30 secs on low-medium speed. Fold in vanilla extract and cinnamon. * Pour half of the cheesecake filling on top of the crust. Pour pecan pie filling on top and swirl around. Pour remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth out. * Wrap cheesecake pan sides + bottom in tinfoil and place cheesecake in a roasting pan, filling roasting pan a little less than halfway with hot water. * Bake cheesecake at 350° F for 90 min. Let cheesecake sit in oven for 30 min to cool with oven door open. * Remove from oven and remove tinfoil. Place pan on a cooling rack for 60 min. Then let it set in fridge for up to 5hrs. * Remove from fridge, make pecan pie topping the same way you made the pecan pie filling. Pour over top of cheesecake, and slice.View original recipe
