Crush them by hand or place them in a food processor and pulse until they take on a light, crumby texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> As the sugar melts in the oven, it helps bind the crust together. If you want, reduce the amount of sugar in both the filling and crust, but don\u2019t skip it altogether.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Because butter is solid at room temperature, it helps firm up the crust so you can easily break these pecan cheesecake bars into even pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Filling:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> While you can get away with using reduced-fat cream cheese for recipes like dips, sauces and spreads, it\u2019s best to use full fat for cheesecake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Just as with the crust, the sugar will melt into the filling as it beats together. This helps create that crave-worthy, creamy consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> A little vanilla extract brings that \u201ccan\u2019t quite put my finger on it\u201d flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecans:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/toasted-pecans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/toasted-pecans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Toasting pecans<\/a> helps bring out more of their flavor and aroma, but you can also use plain, untoasted ones if you\u2019d like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Room-temperature eggs are best because they mix easily into the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caramel topping:\u00a0<\/strong>Using a jar of topping is a terrific shortcut in this easy recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Assemble the crust<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2065759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pecan-pie-cheesecake-bars_TOHD24_278135_SarahTramonte_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Step 1 of Taste Recipes Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars is to grease and line an 11 x 7 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

First, you can simply drizzle it over the bars once they&#8217;re baked and cooled. Or, feel free to place the pecan pieces on the cheesecake and replace the pecan pie topping with the salted caramel sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavor the filling:<\/strong> If you want a hint of something extra in the filling, extracts are an easy option. Bourbon, maple or caramel extract would all pair well with these pecan pie cheesecake bars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars<\/h2>\n<p>If you have lots of leftovers, you can simply keep them in their baking dish and cover with a few layers of aluminum foil. However, for just a few cheesecake bars, it\u2019s best to individually wrap them in foil and place them in an airtight container. Either way, keep it in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I freeze pecan pie cheesecake bars?<\/h3>\n<p>To freeze this recipe, cut them into squares, wrap them in foil and place in a freezer safe bag or airtight container. Keep in the freezer for up to two months. When ready to enjoy, allow the cheesecake bars to thaw in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bar Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2065764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pecan-pie-cheesecake-bars_TOHD24_278135_SarahTramonte_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close up of full yield of Taste Recipes Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sarah Tramonte for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I know if my cheesecake is overmixed?<\/h3>\n<p>If your cheesecake splits or cracks in the oven, changes are you overmixed it. To reduce the chances of this, it\u2019s important to work with room temperature ingredients for the filling. This way, they mix together more easily and don\u2019t need to be overmixed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you cut cheesecake bars cleanly?<\/h3>\n<p>To cut clean, crisp edges on your pecan pie cheesecake bar, first let them set in the fridge. Then, working with a sharp chef\u2019s knife, slice bars. Clean the edge of the knife off in between cuts.<\/p>\n<h3>What not to do when making cheesecake?<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheesecake-tips\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheesecake-tips\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">essential tips to make the perfect cheesecake<\/a> and while most of them apply to this recipe, some of them aren\u2019t necessary to follow when making cheesecake bars.
