For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake; a slight jiggle in the center is ideal. Letting the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven helps prevent cracks. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper, but it may be more difficult to remove the cheesecake.
