This was in my local newspaper today (1.22) as a Super Bowl dessert but it looks & sounds so so so yummy!! Ingredients:
2 cups oreo chocolate cookie crumbs |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 cup pecan pieces |
1 1/2 cups butter |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate |
1/3 cup whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Crust: Mix cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. 2. Praline Nut Layer: Sprinkle pecans over crust. 3. Place butter and brown sugar in saucepan; cook over medium heat until mixture comes to boil. 4. Boil 2 to 4 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. 5. Pour over pecans; cool slightly. 6. Cover; freeze 3 hours or until set. 7. Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, confectionersÂ’ sugar and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. 8. Spread over Praline Nut Layer. 9. Refrigerate until chilled. 10. Ganache: Melt chocolate with cream in small heavy saucepan; cook on very low heat just until chocolate is melted, stirring frequently. 11. Remove from heat; cool completely. 12. Spread chocolate mixture over cream cheese layer. 13. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. 14. Makes 16 servings. 15. For Easier Cutting: Rinse knife in hot water, a wet knife will slice through this dessert easier and prevent the layers from sticking to the knife. |
