How to Make Maple Syrup Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare crust: In a food processor, finely grind 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, and ½ cup pure maple syrup. Mix until evenly moistened.
  4. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  5. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with 2 layers of heavy-duty foil to prevent leakage.
  6. Make filling: In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Gradually add 1 cup pure maple syrup, beating until combined. Then, add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup heavy cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour to slowly cool.
  12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Refrigerate the cheesecake, covered, for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully chill and set.
  14. Once chilled, carefully remove the side of the springform pan.
  15. Serve in wedges, drizzled with additional maple syrup and optionally garnished with chopped pecans.
