Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 3/4 cup | Quick-cooking oats |
| 1/2 cup | Brown sugar |
| 1 tsp | Ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 cup | Butter, cubed |
| 1 package | Cream cheese, softened |

| 1 large | Egg |

Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). π‘οΈ
-
Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray. π³
-
Prepare the Crust:
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Stir well to mix everything evenly.
- Add the cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. π₯£
-
Take about 2/3 of this crumb mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the greased pie pan to form the crust.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Once done, remove it from the oven and set aside.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, continue beating until well blended and creamy. π₯π§
-
Assemble the Cheesecake:
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked crust in the pie pan. π₯
-
Now, take your thinly sliced pears and arrange them in a decorative circular pattern over the cream cheese layer. ππ«
-
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture and chopped pecans evenly over the top of the pears. π°
-
-
Bake the assembled cheesecake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. π
-
Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. π¬οΈ
-
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. This helps it set and allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. βοΈ
-
When ready to serve, slice into wedges and enjoy every creamy, pear-infused bite of this delightful Pear Cheesecake! π°β¨
