Zubereitung von Chocolate Surprise Turtle Cheesecake
- Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter. Mix well.
- Press mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
- Refrigerate the crust while preparing the ganache.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips; whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Pour ganache over the chilled crust, spreading evenly within 1 inch of the pan's edge.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until the ganache is firm.
- In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; mix well.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Do not overmix.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake batter over the firm ganache layer.
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (water bath).
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
- Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt 14 ounces unwrapped caramels with ⅓ cup heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake, leaving about 1 inch of the edge bare.
- Sprinkle the sides and top edge with remaining ½ cup chopped pecans and drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Before serving, run a hot knife under hot water and wipe dry before cutting each slice to prevent cracking.
