Serves/Makes: 16
Ready in: > 5 hrs
- 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1 package (14 ounce size) caramels, unwrapped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
Mix crumbs and butter. Press onto bottom and 2 inches up the side of a 9 inch springform pan. Place caramels and the milk in a small saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until completely melted. Pour half of the caramel mixture into the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set remaining caramel mixture aside for later use. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Blend well. Pour over the caramel crust. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes or until center is almost set if using a silver springform pan (Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes or until center is almost set if using a dark nonstick springform pan). Run knife or metal spatula around side of pan to loosen cake. Cool before removing side of pan. Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight. Top with remaining caramel mixture and pecans just before serving. Melt chocolate in a microwave or over very low heat until smooth. Drizzle over cheesecake.
