BLUE OWL RESTAURANT AND BAKERY TURTLE PECAN CHEESECAKE



Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery Turtle Pecan Cheesecake image

The Blue Owl is a very cute, tea room type of establishment, in Kimmswick Missouri. Kimmswick is a very small and special little town that has lots of shops filled with antiques and gifts. I am sure you know the type. The also have one of the older St. Louis riverboats there, the Huck Finn, I believe. Not at the restaurant! But down the street at the Mississippi river bank. I often visit Kimmswick when I go back to see my parents, who live not too far from there. The Blue Owl serves foods besides desserts, but it is the desserts they wow everyone with for both size and taste and the reason the Blue Owl is slightly "famous".

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups graham cracker crumbs
12 tablespoons melted butter
1 (14 ounce) bag vanilla caramels
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (see note)
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel, melted
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
3 tablespoons evaporated milk (see note)
whipped cream (for garnish) (optional)
pecan halves, dipped in caramel (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • For crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press mixture on the bottom and sides of a buttered 10-inch springform pan (2 inches deep). Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven 10 to 15 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • For filling: In heavy saucepan, melt the caramels with evaporated milk over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. (If desired, dip a few pecans into caramel mixture and set aside to use later as a garnish.) Pour caramel mixture over cooled crust; top with toasted pecans.
  • Combine cream cheese and sugar, mixing on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Blend in melted chocolate. Pour mixture over pecans and caramel in crust, starting at outer edge.
  • Bake in a 350 degree F oven 1 hour and 20 to 25 minutes, or until edges begin to crack. Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan and loosen cheesecake with spatula.
  • For chocolate topping: Melt chocolate morsels on medium heat in microwave. Add evaporated milk (or 2 percent milk and butter; see note). Stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Spread chocolate topping over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and pecan halves dipped in caramel, if desired.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • NOTE: If you don't want to open another can for the 3 tablespoons evaporated milk, you can substitute 3 tablespoons 2 percent milk and 2 teaspoons butter.
  • To toast pecans: Put 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a 9-inch pie plate. Microwave until melted. Stir in 1 cup pecans, tossing to coat. Microwave on HIGH 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

CARAMEL PECAN CHEESECAKE



Caramel Pecan Cheesecake image

This was in my local newspaper, and I tried it for a Super Bowl party. It's really good, VERY rich -- pretty easy too. Makes a lot, so I think it could be easily halved. (Prep/Cook time does NOT include 4 hours of refrigeration needed)

  • Add sour cream; mix well.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.
  • Place 36 caramels and 1 tablespoon water in microwavable bowl.
  • Microwave on high 1 minute or until caramels are completely melted when stirred.
  • Add melted caramels to cream cheese batter; stir until well blended.
  • The caramel will become kind of stringy through the batter as the caramels cool.
  • Pour over crust.

  • ****The recipe calls for melting the remaining caramels and 1 Tbsp of water and drizzling over it, but I did this when I made it and found that the caramel immediately cools and becomes very very sticky.
  • I think next time I make it, I will use some caramel ice cream topping to drizzle on top instead.

OOWEY GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES



Oowey Gooey Butter Cookies image

This is a recipe from the Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery in Kimmswick, Missouri. Kimmswick is an historic town. This restaurant has even been featured on the Food Network. When I saw this recipe I couldn't wait to try it, so I did, it was delicious !!! I had so much faith in this recipe that I doubled it on the first try, and I am glad I did, they flew out of here with the family. The owner of the restaurant says this is a favorite and bestseller for them. I am sure you will enjoy it, this is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made, but it is one of the best ! Tastes like a Gooey Butter Cake!! I myself used parchment paper which made the cookies thicker and gooeyier if there is such a word LOL Prep time includes 30 min refrigeration.

WHITE CHILI (FOOTBALL SOUP)



White Chili (Football Soup) image

This recipe comes from The Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery in historic Kimmswick, MO. My daughter named it "Football Soup" because we always make it when we have a crowd over watching the game after church! Incredibly easy, freezes beautifully, and my bean hating husband even loves it. I add an extra can of green chilies for more flavor. You can make it without the chicken for a cheaper meatless meal, and you can make it without the monterey jack cheese for a low-fat, less thickened soup (but the cheese adds a lot of flavor!)
