These Mini Pecan Pie Cheesecakes combine the buttery notes of pecan pie with the silky tang of classic cheesecake in an elegant, bite-sized dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare mini cheesecake tins or a mini muffin tin with paper liners or nonstick spray.
  2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the bottoms of the tins.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
