TURTLES® CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter one 9 inch springform pan.
• Toast the pecans at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 6 minutes. Remove pecans and set aside. Leave oven at 350 degrees C (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter.
• Combine vanilla wafer crumbs with the melted butter then press into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Place the pan onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove and allow to cool.
• In a double boiler, or a bowl set over barely simmering water, melt the caramels in the evaporated milk. Stir until smooth. Pour this over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the nuts over the top.
• In a bowl, combine the cheese, sugar, and vanilla and beat until smooth, scraping down the bowl several times. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until smooth. Melt the chocolate chips in the double boiler and mix into the cheese mixture. Pour the batter over the caramel layer.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until barely set. Chill over night in the refrigerator before serving.

TURTLE CHEESECAKE

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.

2-DAY TURTLE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chocolate cookie rounds: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, flour, and sugar.
• Add the butter and mash with a fork into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until a soft dough comes together. Add the salt and stir to incorporate.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it comes together in a soft ball, adding more flour as needed.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• On a surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick round. Cut the dough into about 8 3-inch rounds. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the rounds for 15 minutes, or until dry looking and firm. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Make the chocolate crust: Wrap the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with foil.
• Transfer the cooled cookie rounds to a food processor and pulse until broken down into coarse crumbs.
• Add the powdered sugar and pulse to incorporate. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
• Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and press evenly against the bottom. Chill the crust in the refrigerator until ready to fill.
• Make the dark caramel sauce: Add the sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts into a thick, amber-colored liquid, 3-5 minutes. Do not let the sugar burn.
• Add the butter and whisk until completely melted.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly add the heavy cream. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute, then add vanilla and stir to incorporate. Transfer the caramel to a heatproof bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sugar and beat to incorporate. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Add the vanilla and white chocolate and beat to combine.
• Add the melted chocolate to a medium bowl. Add ½ cup (145 G) of the caramel sauce to a separate medium bowl, reserving the remaining caramel sauce for serving. Add 2 cups (550 G) of the cheesecake filling to each bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Pour the chocolate layer into the center of the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Slowly pour the caramel layer over the chocolate layer and smooth the top. Slowly pour the white chocolate layer over the caramel layer and smooth the top.
• Set the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour in boiling water, taking care not to splash into the cheesecake, until it reaches about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) up the sides of the springform pan.
• Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake the cheesecake for about 2 hours, or until set.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven. Carefully lift the springform pan from the water bath. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
• Make the candied pecans: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium pan over medium-high heat, combine the water, sugar, and corn syrup. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until glossy. Add the pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until glazed, 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the pecans onto the prepared pan and separate so they don't clump together. Let cool completely.
• To assemble, unwrap the foil from the springform pan and release the springform.
• Warm the reserved caramel sauce.
• Drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the cheesecake in a zigzag pattern. Sprinkle the candied pecans on top. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the pecans in the opposite direction of the chocolate.
