For a deeper rum flavor, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of dark rum to the pecan filling. To prevent a soggy crust, you can blind bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the fillings. Chopped pecans can be used if you prefer, but the halves add a nice visual appeal. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
