Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 3/4 cups whole or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
