Kentucky Derby Pecan Pie Cheesecake
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F

  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.

  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream until mixture is smooth.

  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.

  6. Bake for about 70-80 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.

  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

  9. In a bowl, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth. Fold in pecan halves.

  10. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.

  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
