A delicious brown sugar cheesecake with pecan crust, cooked in the crockpot.
INGREDIENTS:
* Crust: * 1 cup graham cracker crumbs * 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans * 2 tablespoons brown sugar * 3 tablespoons melted butter * Filling: * 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature * 3/4 cup brown sugar * 2 large eggs * 1/4 cup whipping cream * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1 tablespoon flour
PREPARATION: Combine crumbs and nuts with brown sugar; mix in melted butter until well moistened. Pat into a 7-inch springform pan. Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs, cream, vanilla, and flour; beat for 3 to 4 minutes at medium speed of a hand-held electric mixer.
Pour into the prepared crust and place on a rack or ring of aluminum foil (to keep it off the bottom of the pot) in a 5 to 6-quart Crock Pot (large enough to fit the springform pan). Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Turn off and leave for 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to remove. Cool completely and remove the sides of the pan. Garnish with pecan halves if desired. Chill before serving, and store leftovers in the refrigerator.
