Recipe Introduction


A favorite for years at our house!


List of Ingredients




Crust
1 ½ cups quick oats
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
Filling
40 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 2/3 cups light brown sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans, divided
Whipped cream (optional)

Recipe



For Crust
Place oats in food processor or blender; process to consistency of flour. Combine oats with remaining crust ingredients; press into bottom of 10-inch springform pan. Chill.

For Filling
Beat cream cheese with mixer until fluffy; slowly add brown sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and half of nuts. Mix and pour over crust. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 1 hour, until most of the cheesecake is set, but with the center slightly jiggly. Turn oven off but leave cake in oven for 30 minutes more. To reduce the chance of cracks on top surface, run a knife around the edge of cheesecake as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let cool to room temperature; chill for 8 hours. Remove sides of pan. Press additional chopped pecans around sides and pipe top with whipped cream.
