Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, stir the chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Slice and enjoy the ultimate indulgence!
