So, I’m going to get a little controversial today. I know a lot of people are all about pumpkin flavored everything once fall hits but I’m really more of a pecan girl. Don’t think less of me! I grew up in the south and my grandma had a pecan tree in her backyard. I grew up eating pecans straight from the tree, or better yet in a homemade pecan pie straight from grandma’s oven!

Now that I’m all grown up and I do my own baking I use pecans in all sorts of recipes from my Pecan Pie Cake Roll to my Apple Pecan Stuffing. With the recent change in the weather (I love fall weather!!) I have been inspired to start my fall baking and the first thing I tried out was this amazing Mini Chocolate Pecan Pie Cheesecake. The name speaks for itself, I mean how much better can you get that chocolate, pecan pie, and cheesecake all baked into one delicious dessert?

These Mini Chocolate Pecan Pie Cheesecakes are a simple cheesecake mixture made with cream cheese, sugar, eggs, flour, and vanilla baked on top of a pecan crust. That alone is pretty darn delicious but the real star is the dollop of chocolate pecan pie filling on top. The pecan pie filling is just like my mom, and my grandma before her, uses for her pecan pies but instead of pouring it into a pie crust and baking it I cook it on the stove top until it thickens and then at the very end you add a handful of chocolate chips and…well it’s pretty awesome. After the cheesecakes cool, I add a little bit of chocolate pecan pie filling to the top of each. You don’t need much, a little less than a tablespoon, it’s pretty powerful stuff!

When you get a bit of everything all together it is pretty much heaven. The pecan crust and the cheesecake cuts the sweetness of the chocolate pecan pie filling and everything melts together into one perfect bite. If you aren’t a pecan lover before you make this Mini Chocolate Pecan Pie Cheesecake you will be when you’re done!

    Your instructions call for honey granules, but there is sugar in the ingredient list, not honey granules. Please clarify.
