Homemade No-Bake Buttered Pecan Cheesecake

Buttered pecan cheesecake (no bake)
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE PECANS:
2 cups pecan halves (for garnish)
2 cups chopped pecans (for filling)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
FOR THE FILLING:
16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
FOR THE CRUST (If using):
1 cup pecans
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
TO MAKE THE CRUST:
Using a food processor, crush the pecans into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and sugar. (Or you can buy store bought pecan crust if available.)
*If using a pre-made pie crust, skip the following steps.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or a springform pan.
Bake for 5-10 minutes on 350 degrees, or until the crust is lightly browned. Set aside to cool. Bake if you want toasty flavored pecans.
TO MAKE THE BUTTERED PECANS:
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add the pecans, sugar, and salt. Cover and shake vigorously until the pecans are coated.
*Once coated, put into a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, toast for about 10 minutes. Set to cool (optional)
If desired, set aside some of the pecans for garnish. (I used about 20-25 pecan halves) Once cooled, roughly chop the remaining pecans.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until thoroughly combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Spread the filling evenly in the cooled crust. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
