INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: PREPARE THE CRUST
– Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
– Mix Crust Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
– Form Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
STEP 2: MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING
– Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
– Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
– Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
– Mix in Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream until smooth. Gently fold in the toffee bits and chopped pecans.
STEP 3: ASSEMBLE AND BAKE
– Pour Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
– Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
– Cool: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
STEP 4: MAKE THE TOPPING
– Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
