How to Make Easy Caramel Pecan Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your graham cracker crust (see optional crust recipe below).
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in vanilla extract.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a separate saucepan, combine caramels and milk over low heat. Stir constantly until caramels are melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in chopped pecans.
  8. Pour caramel mixture into the prepared crust.
  9. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the caramel layer.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
