No-Bake Pecan Pie Cheesecake

This no-bake cheesecake brings together the best of two desserts into one. Pair the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the sweet taste of pecan pie in an ooey-gooey topping.
How to Make This No-Bake Pecan Pie Cheesecake Recipe
Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, you can start making this tasty treat. Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and positioning the rack in the center. Crumble the graham crackers using a food processor, or crush them in a plastic bag. Once you have crumbs, add the sugar and butter, then mix until blended. Spray a 9-inch pie plate and press this mixture to the bottom and sides. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the crust is just firm.
Let the crust cool while you prepare the filling. Add sugar, cream cheese and vanilla to a bowl and beat until creamy using an electric mixer. Fold in the container of whipped topping, then fill the crust evenly. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator.
To make the topping, start by beating eggs in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk or fork. Next, chop pecan halves into smaller pieces and set aside. Combine the butter, honey, cream and brown sugar in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat until boiling. Let boil for 1 minute, and then turn off the heat.
Pour the hot mixture into the bowl with eggs, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in the pecan pieces, vanilla and salt, then transfer it back to the saucepan, return to a boil and let boil for another minute. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the topping is cool, remove the cheesecake from the fridge and top evenly. Place back into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then, serve it up to raving reviews from all your tasters.
