Pecan Pie Cheesecake

A rich combo of dense cheesecake and gooey pecan pie topping. Graham cracker crust with brown sugar and butter base. Cream cheese whipped light then folded with sour cream, eggs, and dry ingredients. Cheesecake baked in water bath to avoid cracking. Sweet pecan topping made with butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, plus dark chocolate for depth. Salted pecans add crunch. Chill long for best texture. Garnished with caramel sauce and fleur de sel for contrast.
