How to Make Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 14 ounces of caramels and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
  3. Pour the caramel-pecan mixture into your prepared pie crust.
  4. In a blender, combine 16 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup of sour cream, and 1/4 cup of milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 3.4 ounces (one 3.4 ounce box) of instant chocolate pudding mix to the blender. Blend for another 30 seconds until well combined.
  6. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the caramel layer in the pie pan.
  7. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the layers to set slightly.
  8. Drizzle your favorite chocolate fudge topping over the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
  9. Cover loosely and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
