Ingredients

Scale
  • 120 g Digestive biscuits
  • 80 g pecans
  • 120 g salted butter
  • 600 g cream cheese
  • 240 ml pure maple syrup (1 cup)
  • 400 ml whipping cream
  • 3 gelatin sheets
  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • 60 g pecans
  • 2 + 1 tbsp maple syrup (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pecan crust: Crush digestive biscuits and 80g pecans in a food processor. Melt 120g butter and mix with crumbs. Press into the base of a lined springform pan and chill.
  2. Make the filling: Soak 3 gelatin sheets in cold water. Warm 50ml whipping cream, dissolve drained gelatin, and cool. Beat cream cheese with 240ml maple syrup until smooth. Whip 400ml whipping cream to stiff peaks.
  3. Combine filling: Fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream.
  4. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight.
  5. Prepare topping: Chop 60g pecans, toss with 1 tbsp maple syrup, and bake at 200°C (392°F) for 5 minutes until caramelized. Cool completely.
  6. Whip cream: Beat 100ml whipping cream with 2 tbsp maple syrup to stiff peaks.
  7. Decorate: Top the set cheesecake with the maple whipped cream and sprinkle with the cooled caramelized pecans.

Notes

  • Ensure gelatin mixture is fully cooled before adding to the cream cheese to prevent lumps.
  • Salted butter in the crust balances the sweetness.
  • Refrigerate for at least 5 hours for proper setting; overnight is best.
  • Cool caramelized pecans completely before decorating.
  • Agar-agar powder can be used as a gelatin alternative, following package directions.
