BLUE OWL RESTAURANT AND BAKERY TURTLE PECAN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press mixture on the bottom and sides of a buttered 10-inch springform pan (2 inches deep). Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven 10 to 15 minutes, then set aside to cool.
• For filling: In heavy saucepan, melt the caramels with evaporated milk over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. (If desired, dip a few pecans into caramel mixture and set aside to use later as a garnish.) Pour caramel mixture over cooled crust; top with toasted pecans.
• Combine cream cheese and sugar, mixing on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Blend in melted chocolate. Pour mixture over pecans and caramel in crust, starting at outer edge.
• Bake in a 350 degree F oven 1 hour and 20 to 25 minutes, or until edges begin to crack. Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan and loosen cheesecake with spatula.
• For chocolate topping: Melt chocolate morsels on medium heat in microwave. Add evaporated milk (or 2 percent milk and butter; see note). Stir until mixture is smooth.
• Spread chocolate topping over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and pecan halves dipped in caramel, if desired.
• Keep refrigerated.
• NOTE: If you don't want to open another can for the 3 tablespoons evaporated milk, you can substitute 3 tablespoons 2 percent milk and 2 teaspoons butter.
• To toast pecans: Put 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a 9-inch pie plate. Microwave until melted. Stir in 1 cup pecans, tossing to coat. Microwave on HIGH 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

• Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil; press crumbs firmly onto bottom of pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, flour and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
• Mixture will be pretty thick.
• Add sour cream; mix well.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.
• Place 36 caramels and 1 tablespoon water in microwavable bowl.
• Microwave on high 1 minute or until caramels are completely melted when stirred.
• Add melted caramels to cream cheese batter; stir until well blended.
• The caramel will become kind of stringy through the batter as the caramels cool.
• Pour over crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center is almost set.
• Sprinkle cheesecake with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• ****The recipe calls for melting the remaining caramels and 1 Tbsp of water and drizzling over it, but I did this when I made it and found that the caramel immediately cools and becomes very very sticky.
• I think next time I make it, I will use some caramel ice cream topping to drizzle on top instead.
