All it takes is one bite for you to taste a bursting amount of flavor that you just can’t get enough of. If you want to understand what I’m talking about, go on ahead and read the procedure below.

Ingredients:

Crust

  • 20 Oreo or other chocolate sandwich cookies
  • ½ cup Pecan halves
  • ¼ cup Unsalted butter melted

Filling

  • 4 (8-ounce) blocks Cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (220g) Firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tsp (35g) All-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 4 large Eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted and cooled
  • ½ cup (120ml) Caramel sauce
  • ½ cup Pecans, chopped

Topping

  • 1 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp Caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp  Pecans, chopped

Directions:

Crust

In a food processor, pulse the sandwich cookies and pecans until finely ground for about 30 seconds. Transfer in a mixing bowl, then add in the melted butter and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a lightly sprayed springform pan evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling
In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in 1/4 cup flour, cream, and vanilla. Beat them together until smooth for about 1 minute. Add in the eggs one at a time, then beat them well. Remove about 1 cup of the batter, and place in a small bowl. Stir the melted chocolate into the batter. In another small bowl, whisk the caramel and the remaining 2 teaspoons of flour together, then add in the chopped pecans.
Spread the caramel mixture in an even layer over the cooled crust, then spread the chocolate batter into an even layer over the caramel mixture. Carefully spoon the plain batter over the chocolate filling, and smooth the top. Place on a baking sheet. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Place a large roasting pan or casserole dish on the bottom rack of the oven and carefully fill halfway with the boiling water. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack.

Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 75 to 90 minutes or until the edges are pulling away slightly from the sides of the pan and the center wobbles when gently shaken. Cover the cheesecake loosely with foil after 60 minutes if the top appears to be browning too quickly. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.

Topping

In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the cream for 15 to 30 seconds, or until steaming. Add in the chocolate chips and let stand for a few minutes. Stir until smooth. Then, carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the pan and transfer the cheesecake to a cake plate. Drizzle the cheesecake with melted chocolate and caramel. Sprinkle and garnish with pecans.
