Pecan Pie Cheesecake

This Pecan Pie Cheesecake combines two of my all-time favorite desserts into one mouthwatering dessert! The creamy cheesecake filling is topped with a sweet layer of caramel pecans. This easy dessert recipe is one for the record books!

Sinfully rich and oh so decadent! Fans of both desserts will love this easy recipe.

I saved time by using a frozen pie crust, but you could make your own from scratch using your favorite recipe.

I can’t decide if the best part is the rich cheesecake filling or the sweet, crunchy pecan topping. Together, they’re a match made in heaven.

    What to Serve with It

    I drizzled caramel sauce over the pie pieces for a layer of decadence. You could also top each piece with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Serve it to end a delicious meal or as a sweet afternoon treat with coffee.
