Description

Creamy, chocolate, caramel, crunchy pecan goodness in your mouth!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter, Or More As Needed
  • 2 cups Crushed Oreo Cookies
  • 1 package (14 Oz. Size) Kraft Caramels
  • 1 can 5 Oz. Can Evaporated Milk
  • ½ cups Chopped Pecans
  • 16 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Combine melted butter and cookie crumbs in a bowl. Begin with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, but if the mixture is still too crumbly, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of melted butter. Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, working partially up the sides.

In a heavy saucepan, melt caramels into evaporated milk over low heat. Stir regularly until smooth and well incorporated. Pour caramel over the crust. Sprinkle pecans over the caramel.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler until smooth, then fold into the cream cheese mixture. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pan. Bake 40-50 minutes or until filling is set. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

Hi Hollie,
I just read your recipe and I’m very intrigued! I did have one question–do you have to bake the crust part of this cake before you put in the caramel and cream cheese mixture? That’s how I normally see cheesecake recipes, so I was a bit surprised. Thanks!

very rich and yummy. After I poured the caramel in I let it cool slightly to set up before layering on the cream cheese mixture. Easy enough to make, but it definitely took longer than 15 min prep time, though!

I made this for my wife’s birthday and we loved it. I am not very skilled in the kitchen, but this was easy to make.
