Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
30 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
3 tablespoons milk
¾ cup chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Mix well and press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Pour on melted caramel/pecan mixture and chill for 30 minutes.
  • To make the Caramel Filling: In a small saucepan, combine caramels and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Fold 1/3 of the filling into the melted chocolate, then pour the chocolate mixture back into the filling and mix until no streaks remain. Pour into crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until center is almost set. Place a pan of water on rack underneath cheesecake as it bakes to help keep it from cracking. Cool in oven with door cracked open. Refrigerate at least 5 hours before serving.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT CHEESECAKE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Johanna

Number Of Ingredients 26

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup toasted, chopped Macadamia nuts (toast on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 6 minutes)
FOR THE CARAMEL:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
FOR THE CHEESECAKE:
24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
8 ounces sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 ounces white chocolate (a bar cut into chunks or a package of chunks if you can find them)
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup Macadamia nuts, toasted (toast as above in crust layer)
FOR THE GARNISH:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
More caramel sauce for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the caramel first. In a small saucepot, melt the butter and sugar together over medium high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. The longer you cook it, the stronger the flavor it is. If you don't want a really strong caramel, cook it closer to 7 minutes. Let it cool about 2 minutes and then whisk in the cream carefully. It may have a tendency to puff up and boil. Mix the crust layer ingredients together. Spray a springform pan with non stick spray. Spread the crust mixture on the bottom of the springform pan. Cook the crust layer 8-10 minutes or until it's slightly firm in the center and not as sticky. Meanwhile, for the cheesecake layer, in a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until soft. Scrape down the sides, add in the sugar, and beat again until combined. Scrape the bowl down again and add in the remaining ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and smooth. Gently spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer. Drizzle in some caramel, all the white chocolate, and most of the Macadamia nuts (leave some for garnishing). Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top. Make a large foil tent to cover over the cheesecake pan. This will keep your cheesecake white. Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour. Remove foil tent and cook in five-minute increments until the center is set. Refrigerate or even freeze until cold. When the cheesecake is cold, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a mixer until stiff. Put a dollop of whipped cream on the cheesecake slices, drizzle caramel over, and the remaining Macadamia nuts.
