Ingredients

For the crust:

• 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• Pinch of salt

For the cheesecake layer:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the pecan pie layer:

• 1 cup light corn syrup (or golden syrup)
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt.
3. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
5. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and set. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat again until fully incorporated and lump-free.
3. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it into an even layer.
