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.
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.
