Description

This pecan nut cheesecake with shortbread is an absolute eye-catcher on every coffee table! I especially like to make it in autumn when pecan nuts are in season. The crispy shortbread base harmonizes perfectly with the creamy cheesecake filling and the sweet, nutty caramel. The preparation takes a little while, but the result is worth every minute. A tip: It is best to prepare the caramel the day before, then it will be faster on the day itself. This cake is ideal for birthdays or just to enjoy!
