Beat remaining ingredients except pecans in small mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 1 minute. Spread over baked layer; sprinkle with pecans. Bake until edges are light brown, about 25 min. Cool; refrigerate at least 2 hours. Cut into 1-1/4" squares. Store in refrigerator. About 3 dozen squares.

Cherry-Cheesecake Squares: Substitute 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the 1/3 cup brown sugar and stir 1/3 cup cut up candied cherries into cheese mixture before pouring over baked layer.
