Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake Pie image

Now, this is a very decadent and special dessert for the holidays. This dessert marries pecan pie with cheesecake. A layer of dark chocolate on top of the crust makes the pie very rich. If you prefer milk chocolate over dark, feel free to use that instead. When cut into, we love the layering look on each slice. When presented,...

THE CRUST
6 oz chocolate-wafer cookies from this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/dessert-cake/ground-chocolate-cookie-wafer-base.html?p=74
1/2 c toasted pecan halves
4 oz unsalted butter, melted
THE CHEESECAKE
24 oz cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt, kosher variety
3 medium eggs, room temp
1/2 c heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
THE SAUCE
1 1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 c heavy cream
4 oz unsalted butter, room temp
1/4 c bourbon (optional but wonderful)
1 tsp salt, kosher variety
1 1/2 c chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. THE CRUST
  • 2. Place a rack in the middle position, and pre-heat oven to 375f (190c).
  • 3. Gather your ingredients
  • 4. Rub the interior of a spring-form pan with butter, or use a non-stick spray, and then wrap the pan in foil.
  • 5. Chef's Note: There are some new pans out there (I use one) that is not a spring-form pan, and uses a silicon seal for the bottom of the pan. No need for the spring form, and no need for the aluminum wrapper.
  • 6. Process the pecans and wafers in a food processor until smooth.
  • 7. Incorporate the melted butter.
  • 8. Press into the bottom of the spring-form pan.
  • 9. Bake for 10-minutes, in the pre-heated oven, and allow to cool.
  • 10. THE CHEESECAKE
  • 11. Gather your ingredients
  • 12. In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a paddle, mix the 24 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and table salt.
  • 13. Mix until fluffy.
  • 14. Add the eggs, one at a time, make sure each egg is incorporated before adding another.
  • 15. Chef's Note: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, between additions.
  • 16. Add the 1/2 cup cream, and vanilla extract.
  • 17. Beat until fully incorporated.
  • 18. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat oven to 325f (162c)
  • 19. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Transfer the spring-form pan to the middle of a high-walled roasting pan (or other pan), and place in the oven.
  • 20. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan; 1/3 of the way up.
  • 21. Chef's Note: A bain marie (ban mah-REE) is the fancy term for a hot water bath. It's used for cooking delicate foods like custards and cheesecakes to create a gentle and uniform heat around the food.
  • 22. Bake in preheated oven for about one hour, or until the cheesecake is set.
  • 23. Chef's Tip: To tell if the cheesecake is ready to come out of the oven, the sides should be set, and the middle should still jiggle.
  • 24. Cover, and let cool in the refrigerator up to twenty-four hours.
  • 25. THE TOPPING
  • 26. Combine all of the ingredients for the topping in a saucepan.
  • 27. Bring to a boil, over medium-low heat without stirring.
  • 28. Simmer for ten minutes.
  • 29. Let cool for 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • 30. Spoon the sauce over the top of the cheesecake, or spoon it over the individual slices.
  • 31. Chef's Note: Because of the sweetness of this dessert, a counter to this is a good cup of black coffee. Hot coffee, and cool cheesecake; what a treat.
  • 32. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate is a good choice.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Top the cheesecake with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or chopped pecans before serving.

This chocolate pecan pie cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
