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)

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 55m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, divided
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
32 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1 (14 ounce) bag caramels, divided
2 tablespoons water, divided

Steps:

  • Mix crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, granulated sugar and butter.
  • Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil; press crumbs firmly onto bottom of pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, flour and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
  • Mixture will be pretty thick.
  • 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.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center is almost set.
  • Sprinkle cheesecake with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
  • Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • ****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.

PECAN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE



Pecan Caramel Cheesecake image

Categories     Cake     Food Processor     Mixer     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Cream Cheese     Pecan     Sour Cream     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 18

For crust
seven 5- by 2 1/2-inch graham crackers
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted and cooled
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For filling
2 pounds cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
For topping
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves, toasted lightly and cooled

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • In a food processor grind graham crackers and pecans fine and in a bowl stir together with butter. Press mixture into bottom of a 9- by 2 1/2-inch springform pan. Chill crust 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Make filling:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar gradually, beating until combined well. Beat in flour and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream, vanilla, and salt, beating until combined well.
  • Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of oven 1 hour, or until edges are just set but middle trembles slightly. (Cheesecake will continue to set as it cools.) Turn off oven and cool cheesecake in oven with oven door propped open about 6 inches until cooled completely, about 2 hours.
  • Make topping:
  • In a dry heavy saucepan cook 1/2 cup sugar over moderately low heat until melted. Cook sugar, swirling pan, until a deep caramel. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until caramel dissolves. Simmer mixture, without stirring, until it registers 225°F. on a candy thermometer and remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla and cool to room temperature.
  • Pour topping over cheesecake, spreading evenly. Arrange pecans decoratively on top and chill cheesecake, covered, overnight. Remove side of pan.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature ingredients. This will help the cheesecake batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the cheesecake to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Garnish the cheesecake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include caramel sauce, chocolate chips, pecans, and whipped cream.
  • Serve the cheesecake at room temperature. This will allow the cheesecake to be enjoyed at its best.

Conclusion:

Caramel Pecan Cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This cheesecake is made with a creamy caramel filling, a pecan graham cracker crust, and a rich chocolate ganache topping. The cheesecake is baked in a water bath to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
