Turtle Cheesecake 🐢🍰

Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 1 hour 30 minutes | Total Time: 5 hours | Kcal: 450 kcal | Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce
• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil.
• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, heavy cream, eggs, flour, and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
• Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Drizzle half of the caramel and hot fudge sauces over the batter. Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans.
• Repeat layers with the remaining batter, sauces, and pecans.
• Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
• Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, drizzle caramel and hot fudge sauces over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Slice and enjoy!
