EASIEST PECAN CHEESECAKE

With a quick toasting of the pecans, and some extra thick store-bought caramel paired with cream cheese frosting, your eyes and taste buds are in for a treat.

PECAN CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS

Sara Lee Frozen Cheesecake, Thawed
1 cup cream cheese frosting
1.5 cups whole pecans, toasted
⅓ cup thick caramel

Tools: Star tip for frosting

To toast your pecans, spray some non-stick spray on a baking sheet or parchment paper before spreading them out. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes or until desired toastiness is achieved. Let them cool briefly before assembling your delish creation.

On your defrosted Sara Lee Frozen Cheesecake, use a star tip to pipe your cream cheese frosting around the entire cheesecake. Then carefully place your toasted pecans in the center, filling up the entire space. Then, add a final cream cheese frosting touch to the center of the cake. Lastly, drizzle the thick and glorious caramel over the entire cake evenly.

Voila! You have a delish cheesecake that is quite perfect for any occasion or holiday table this fall. By the way, there’s a reason they call Sara Lee Frozen Cheesecake America’s favorite cheesecake! It’s delish! It has quality ingredients and is frozen fresh.
