Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
For the pecan topping, mix chopped pecans, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the cooled cheesecake.
Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Serve slices of the cheesecake topped with the whipped cream.

For best results, chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. You can substitute different nuts for the topping if desired.
