Imagine this.

Caramel Praline Topped Cheesecake. Vanilla wafer crust, whipped cream nuts and a cherry. Decadent deliciousness In every bite!

You can have this right in your very own home!

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

CRUST:

  • 1-1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers about 45 wafers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 16 whole vanilla wafers

FILLING:

  • 3 packages 8 ounces each cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten

TOPPING:

  • 25 caramels
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix wafer crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Arrange whole wafers, rounded sides out, along sides of pan, pressing lightly into crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.
  • Bake 55-60 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.
  • In a microwave, melt caramels with milk; stir until smooth. Remove rim from pan. Drizzle cheesecake with caramel mixture; sprinkle with pecans.

Freeze option: Wrap individual portions of cheesecake in plastic wrap and place in a resealable plastic freezer bag. Seal bag and freeze for future use. To use, thaw completely in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.

When you set the plate of this sweet goodness on your table it will stop all conversation.

The caramel dripping down the sides of this cheesecake Will render your family speechless. It really is a jaw dropping experience.

This cheesecake also travels well.

You can take it as your contribution to any dinner table.

Each forkful should be savored with the attention it deserves.

Contrary to popular belief, Caramel Praline Topped Cheesecake is not just for adults.

Kids enjoy it too!

Fo those with a nut allergy you can spread the pralines over just a portion of the cheesecake.

Setting them aside in a bowl is an option. But they are better when baked in.

Here is my recipe for Caramel Topping. You will never buy store bought again!
