This Maple Pecan Cheesecake is made from scratch and is easy to make. Infused with the warm flavor of maple and toasted pecans interwoven into a creamy cream cheese filling, this cheesecake is a delightful dessert!
One taste and your senses are charmed by the sweet and nutty taste. The filling is creamy yet light while the crust is a treat in itself. This cheesecake nearly floats on clouds as it seems as light as air!
Why, it is practically guilt free!
Making the Maple Pecan Cheesecake
Now for the truth of making a cheesecake. Like, for instance, our Maple Pecan Cheesecake.
It takes time! A lot of time.
Now, it is not hard to make. In fact, this is a really easy recipe. But…this is not the dessert to slam dunk out right before dinner.
Because it takes time. Time in the form of the waiting game.
The hard life of a cheesecake
Yes, it must be exhausting to be a cheesecake!
The cheesecake must rest for an hour in the oven after it is done baking. Next, it has to rest on the counter for an hour. After that, it has to go into the fridge and chill for at least an hour but preferably 4 hours to overnight.
That is a lot of down time waiting on your maple pecan cheesecake to be ready!
The science behind the resting times
The simple fact is, the cheesecake is still cooking even after it is done baking. We have mentioned this before in our previous cheesecake blogs. However, repetition is the key to success.
We like to think of the innards of a cheesecake as molten hot lava. And it takes awhile for the cheesecake to not only finish baking internally but also for it to cool down.
Trust us on this! We know!
We have, we admit, cut into a cheesecake or two without waiting for it to cool completely. The results are not pretty. It’s like a cheesecake landslide. Then everything seems to shift and the next thing you know, all future slices are droopy.
Sad, Very sad.
But, boy, they sure tasted good!! Ah well, live and learn and work on self control.
Food safety
As always, it pays to educate yourself when it comes to different foods such as cream cheese, our main ingredient of this recipe. In addition, knowing how to keep food safe also helps keep you and your loved ones healthy.
As mentioned above, the cheesecake has a cooling off process. However, do not leave your cheesecake out for more that the time needed for each cooling stage and refrigerate as soon as possible.
