How to Make Triple Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine crushed pecans and melted chocolate chips. Gently fold into the cheesecake batter.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  6. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the caramel topping by heating caramel candies according to package directions.
  9. Once the cheesecake is completely cool, spread the caramel evenly over the top.
  10. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with extra chopped pecans.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
