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)

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.

This cheesecake was a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I thought the caramel pecan topping was a bit too sweet, but the cheesecake itself was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was really good. The caramel pecan topping was the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
