This Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Cheesecake elevates the classic dessert with nutty brown butter and aromatic vanilla bean. The creamy filling, crunchy pecan crust, and whipped cream topping make this cheesecake a true showstopper.

½ cup plus 1 tablespoon browned butter (120g)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 packages cream cheese (452g, softened)
