Did you know that cheesecake is my all time favorite dessert? I just love cheesecake! I don't have a favorite flavor...yet. I can tell you that I haven't ever met a cheesecake that I haven't liked...LOL! I even love the no-bake cheesecakes. In fact I found one that I'm going to try this weekend. I am passing along the recipe to you in case you would like to join me in making this over the weekend.
Pecan Caramel CheeseCake
By Sandra Lee, author of Semi-Homemade Desserts
Pecan pie or cheesecake? Try a bite of both with this no-bake New York-style cheesecake smothered in caramelized pecans. The inspired combination of creamy cheesecake, gooey caramel, and crunchy pecans is a two-in-one treat, perfect for parties, special dinners or starting a new Thanksgiving tradition. Be generous with the caramel -- and don't be afraid to let it drip down the sides. It just looks more homemade.
Serves 12 to 16
Prep time: 10 minutes
Chilling time: 5 hours
2 boxes (11.1 ounces each) real cheesecake dessert mix, Jell-O No Bake®
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 cups cold whole milk
1 cup butterscotch caramel sauce, Mrs. Richardson's ®
1 cup pecans, toasted, chopped
1/2 cup golden brown sugar, packed
Preparation:
Line bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with parchment or wax paper.
Mix 2 packages of crust, melted butter, sugar, and water in large bowl until well blended. Reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture for topping.
Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared pan (not up sides).
Combine 2 packages of cheesecake filling and cold milk in another large bowl. Beat for 3 minutes, or until smooth and thick.
Fold 1/2 cup of caramel sauce into cheesecake mixture.
Pour mixture into crust-lined springform pan.
Mix reserved crumb mixture with 1/4 cup of caramel sauce, pecans, and brown sugar. Sprinkle atop cheesecake.
Refrigerate cake at least 5 hours, or until set.
Run warm knife around pan sides to loosen cake; remove pan sides. Transfer cake to serving platter and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup of caramel sauce.
Bon Appetit!

ReplyDeleteI just browsed down through yours and loved what I saw!
Wow that looks and sounds just wonderful - it making me want to skip lunch and go right to dessert!
Hi Darlene! I have made the Harvest Spiced Pecans and they are yummy. However, I'd have to agree with you in that I haven't found a recipe yet that tastes like the ones I've bought from vendors- I'm still looking for a cinnamon cashew recipe that compares ( :
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, too. I'll be bookmarking your site- love some of the recipes and decor ideas ( :

Now you're talking! I love cheesecake too & I'm with you, most any flavor will do. That looks delish. I'm trying to not make a lot of things at home right now. We don't need the calories, but yum!
