Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 0.75 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath process.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition just until blended. Do not overmix, as this could introduce too much air into the batter.
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust in the prepared springform pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce evenly over the batter, then sprinkle half of the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
Carefully pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the caramel, pecans, and chocolate. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan to create a water bath. This helps prevent cracking.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 70-80 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
Turn off the oven and crack the oven door slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour, then remove it from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with the remaining pecans and chocolate chips. Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate or additional caramel for extra decoration.
Cut into slices and enjoy a decadent Blue Owl Style Turtle Pecan Cheesecake!
