Time 1h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups crushed gingersnaps (about 24)
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted and divided
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
15 caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Stir together gingersnaps and 1/4 cup melted butter; press mixture into bottom of a 9-inch sprinform pan.
  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt; beat 3 minutes. Pour batter into prepared crust. Set aside.
  • Stir together brown sugar, pecans, remaining 1/4 cup flour, and remaining 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle around edge of cream cheese mixture.
  • Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until center is firm. Turn off oven. Leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven; cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. Cover and chill 8 hours. Drizzle caramel topping on edge of chilled cheesecake, if desired.
  • To make caramel topping, place caramels and whipping cream in a 1-cup microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring halfway through cooking time, until melted.
  • Note: Commercial caramel ice-cream topping may be substituted for caramel topping.
  • Once cheesecake is sliced, add a dollop of whipped cream, an extra sprinkle of toasted pecans, and drizzle caramel across the top and over sides of each slice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out very well. It was still edible, but it wasn't as good as I expected.

I'm not a fan of pecans, so I used walnuts in the praline topping instead. It turned out great!
