Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup pecan halves, for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow to cool completely.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Pour over the cooled cheesecake layer.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate layer, using a knife to create a swirled pattern. Sprinkle pecan halves on top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan before slicing into squares.
