Time 3h55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups (414g) sugar
1/2 cup (112g) salted Challenge butter, room temperature
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, room temperature
5 tbsp (41g) all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 cup (28g) pecan chips
2 cups (268g) graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup (112g) salted Challenge butter, melted
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup (28g) pecan chips
4 oz (2/3 cup | 116g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 tbsp (90ml) heavy whipping cream
24 oz (678g) Challenge cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (144g) light brown sugar
3 tbsp (24g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (230g) sour cream
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 oz (1/3 cup | 58g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tbsp (45ml) heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • To make the caramel sauce, pour the sugar into an even layer in a large saucepan.
  • 2. Heat on medium-high heat, whisking the sugar until melted. The sugar will clump up first, but will eventually completely melt. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Once the sugar has melted, stop whisking and allow to cook until the sugar has turned to a little darker amber color. You may notice a nutty aroma. The change in color will happen quickly, so don't let it go too long or get too dark or it'll burn. Remove the caramel from the heat. 4.
  • Add the butter and whisk until combined. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit, but keep whisking until all the butter has melted and combined. 5.
  • Slowly pour the heavy cream into the caramel and whisk until incorporated. I find it can help to add just a bit at a time until the caramel starts to thin out, then you can add the rest. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth. 6.
  • Set about 1 cup of caramel sauce aside for topping. Add the flour and pecan chips to the remaining caramel and set that aside. 7.
  • To make the cheesecake crust, preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides. 8. C
  • mbine the crust ingredients in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan. 9. B
  • ke the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. 10.
  • over the outsides of the pan with aluminum foil so that water from the water bath cannot get in (see how I prepare my pan for a water bath). Set prepared pan aside. 11.
  • educe oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). 12. Po

  • r the chocolate into an even layer over the caramel sauce in the crust. 16. In
  • a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar and flour on low speed until well combined and smooth. Be sure to use low speed to reduce the amount of air added to the batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 17. Ad

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
7 oz graham cracker
2 cups sugar, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
32 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
2 cups sour cream
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch kosher salt
1 vanilla bean
4 large eggs
boiling water, for baking
mixed berry, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the inside edges of the pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
  • Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
  • Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2 cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.
  • Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds, and beat to combine.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined, making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
  • Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with 1 inch (2 cm) of boiling water.
  • Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
  • Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
  • Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.
  • Top with fresh berries, if desired.
  • Dip a knife into hot water for clean slices, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
