Ingredients

• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs

• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 2 package Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

8. Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and serve.
