I took the basic cheesecake recipe & added some yummy extras. I love turtles and cheesecake so I decided to try to make a turtle cheesecake. It is awesome!! The recipe calls for a bag of caramels melted with milk but some of the time I just use a bottle of caramel ice cream topping and use it. You can also make your own caramel & use it! :) Ingredients:
2 cups crumbled oreo cookies |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 (14 ounce) bag caramels |
1/2 cup milk |
1 cup pecan pieces |
3 (8 ounce) packages softened cream cheese |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
3 eggs |
2 squares semisweet baking chocolate |

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix cookie crumbles & butter together & then press firmly into a 9 inch springform pan.
3. Put caramels and milk in a small microwavable bowl.
4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes or until caramels are melted completely.
5. Stir the pecans into the caramel sauce.
6. Pour 1/2 of the caramel mixture onto the crust & refrigerate for 10 minutes.
7. Cover & refrigerate the other 1/2 of caramel mixture for later.
8. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, & vanilla with a mixture until well blended.
9. Add the egss, one at a time, mixing on low until well blended.
10. Pour over caramel layer in crust.
11. Bake 1 hour 5 minutes or until center is almost set over a pan of water.
12. When finished baking, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
