How to Make Pralines N Cream Cheesecake

  1. Prepare the praline: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream (carefully, it will bubble!). Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool completely. Once cooled, coarsely chop the praline.
  2. Make the crust: Crush 1 1/2 cups graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and beat until well combined. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Create the marble effect: Divide the cheesecake filling in half. Melt 4 ounces of white chocolate and stir into one half of the filling. Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and stir into the other half. Gently swirl the chocolate and white chocolate fillings together in the prepared springform pan.
  5. Layer and chill: Sprinkle the chopped praline evenly over the cheesecake filling. Cover the springform pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  6. Decorate and serve: Before serving, garnish the top with extra chopped pecans and some of the remaining praline mixture.
