Ingredients

  • 1 lb cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
    1 tsp vanilla bean paste
    2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
    2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    1/4 cup bottled caramel sauce (such as Ghirardelli)
    1/4 cup cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper baking cups. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and ½ cup brown sugar on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then beat in vanilla bean paste and eggs until just combined, about 30 seconds.

step 2

Stir together graham cracker crumbs, butter and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cracker crumb mixture into each baking cup, and press on the bottom in an even layer. Spoon cream cheese mixture into baking cups, filling each three-quarters full.

step 3

Bake until cheesecake filling is set, about 15 minutes. Let cheesecake bites cool in pan for 45 minutes; top evenly with caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
