If you love pecan pie this cheesecake is amazing! So your cheesecake won't crack I wrap the pan with foil and sit in a hot water bath while it bakes. Or, you can fill another pan with hot water and put it on the bottom rack below your cheesecake.

This is a creamy brown sugar cheesecake with a rich pecan pie layer. A vanilla wafer crust gives the pie a crisp crust and adds a nice shortbread flavor. It pairs nicely with the caramelized pecan pie layer. The whipped topping adds another creamy element to this dessert that we loved.
