How to Make Pecan Cheesecake Pie

Preparing the Pie Crust

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

4. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes.
5. Transfer pie crust to a wire rack, and remove pie weights and parchment.
6. Let crust cool 30 minutes.

Mixing the Cheesecake Filling 

1. Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and salt in mixing bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Add sugar, then beat until filling is fluffy and smooth for 2 minutes.
3. Spoon or pour cheesecake batter into prepared pie crust and smooth out evenly.

Making the Brown Sugar Filling

1. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until bright yellow and well combined.
2. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and whisk together until thickened and smooth. (Add booze if you want and whisk in); set aside.

Assembling the Pecan Pie Cheesecake

Add 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite dark rum or bourbon to the pecan pie filling to give it a little kick for your celebration!
