Ingredients
Pecan Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 8 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Caramel Cheesecake
- 2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Torani Caramel Sauce
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sour cream
Homemade Caramel Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp Torani Caramel Sauce
- Toppings
- 1/2 cup pecans
- Torani Caramel Sauce, for drizzling
- Torani White Chocolate Sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- With a food processor, mix graham cracker crumbs, pecans, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Once the mixture has combined, press the pecan graham cracker crust into a pie plate (I used a 9" deep dish pie plate). Set aside.
- With a hand mixer or standing mixer, mix cream cheese and brown sugar together until well combined.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time; mixing well after each addition.
- Add in vanilla extract, Torani Caramel Sauce, flour, and sour cream, and beat until well combined.
- Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing it in an even layer.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature then chill in the fridge until cold.
- Before serving, make the whipped cream. Whip heavy cream (with a hand mixer or standing mixer) until it begins to thicken. Add in powdered sugar and Torani Caramel Sauce, and mix until it forms stiff picks.
- Spread whipped cream over the top of the caramel cheese cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle each slice with Torani Caramel Sauce and Torani White Chocolate Sauce.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
- Enjoy!
