Zubereitung von Praline Cheesecake Squares
- **Make the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, ⅔ cup finely chopped pecans, and ½ cup powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden brown.
- **Prepare the Filling:** While the crust bakes, beat 16 ounces cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- **Make the Praline Topping:** In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup heavy whipping cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Pour the praline topping over the cooled cheesecake filling.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Cut into squares and enjoy! For 24 smaller servings, use an 8x8x2 inch baking pan and follow steps 1-12.
