Recipe View 10 mins In another small bowl, combine finely ground pecans, finely ground graham cracker crumbs, 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of cheesecake and gently press into sides. Garnish the top and sides with pecan halves. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of pecan flavor, toast the pecan halves before garnishing. This enhances their nutty aroma and adds a delightful crunch.
To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This creates a humid environment that helps the cheesecake bake evenly.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps and create a smoother batter.
