Instructions
00:00 Introduction
For the crust
00:35 In a medium-sized bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, finely chopped pecans, and brown sugar until combined.
01:40 Add melted butter and stir until all crumbs are moistened.
02:05 Press mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9” springform pan. Set aside.
For the chocolate ripple
03:35 Prepare chocolate ripple first (so it has time to cool) by combining heavy cream and chocolate in a medium-sized microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 25 seconds. Stir well and return to microwave for another 25 seconds. Whisk until smooth and set aside while you prepare the filling.
For the cheesecake
Preheat oven to 325F (165C).
04:24 In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and sugars. Beat on medium speed until smooth, creamy, and lump free.
06:13 Add sour cream and vanilla extract and stir on low speed until combined.
06:41 In a separate dish, lightly beat one egg. Add to the cheesecake batter, stirring briefly on low speed until just combined. Repeat with remaining eggs, and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
08:43 Pour approximately a third of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Drizzle half of caramel sauce over cheesecake layer followed by half of the chocolate ripple (this will not cover all of the cheesecake batter, this is fine). Pour another third of the cheesecake batter evenly overtop. Drizzle remaining half of caramel sauce over cheesecake, followed by remaining half of chocolate ripple. Top with the remaining cheesecake batter.
11:18 Place the pan on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is almost set (center will be jiggly and edges should be set and may puff slightly).
11:50 Remove from oven and cool until almost room temperature (alternatively, to help reduce risk of cracks, turn off oven, crack the door, and allow it to sit for 1 hour). Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight before topping and serving.
Topping
12:05 Once cheesecake is chilled, prepare your toppings. Make ganache by combining chocolate and heavy cream in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 25 seconds and stir well. If not yet smooth, microwave again and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
12:33 Drizzle caramel sauce and prepared ganache over cheesecake. Scatter pecans overtop.
14:10 For easy slicing, chill cheesecake in refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow toppings to set.
14:22 Once cheesecake has chilled completely, remove springform ring, slice and serve.
Notes
Chocolate for Ripple & Topping
I prefer to use semisweet or dark chocolate. You may use a chopped baking bar or use couverture chocolate. Chocolate chips are not my preference but will work in a pinch.
Storing
Return ring to pan and cover with foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cheesecake may also be tightly wrapped and frozen.

2 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs like Oreo or similar
1/2 cup butter melted
Caramel:
30 wrapped chewy caramel candies (I use Kraft) - 250g
1 cup heavy cream
1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty you like your caramel)
1 cup chopped pecans
Cheesecake:
24 oz cream cheese, room temperature 3 packages, 750g
1 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Ganache:
1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate or chips 50g
1/3 cup milk or cream
Optional: caramel sauce, whipped cream and pecans for garnish
Instructions
Line a 9 Springform pan with parchment paper, pinching it in between the bottom and the outer ring. This isn't necessary but will allow for easy removal.
Crust
Combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan evenly.
Caramel
In a medium pan, combine caramels and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until completely smooth and melted.
Stir in pecans and pour into crust. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes until firm/dry to the touch.
Cheesecake
With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth and combined.
Add cream, and beat on low until incorporated, then high until thickened and fluffy (should nearly hold stiff peaks when you pull the beaters out of the bowl)
Spread over cooled caramel in pan. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until nearly set.
Ganache
Combine chocolate and cream in a small pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
Spread over cheesecake layer evenly.
Refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours, or overnight for best results. Serve with garnishes as desired.
