Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Wrap a greased 9-inch springform pan in two layers of foil all around the outside of the pan. This foil will help keep the water from the water bath (in a few steps) from leaking into the pan. Set aside.
- Combine flour, brown sugar and pecans in a small bowl and cut into butter until crumbly. Press onto the bottom of the springform pan. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 325 for 12-14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- Beat cream cheese and sugars in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in ¼ cup flour, cream and vanilla. Add eggs and beat on low until just blended. Remove 1 cup of the batter to a small bowl and stir in melted chocolate. Spread over the crust.
- Mix caramel sauce and remaining flour in another bowl and stir in pecans - spoon over chocolate layer.
- Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Place springform pan in a large baking pan (I used an 11x14 pan). Add 1 inch of hot water to the pan to create a water bath (this will help the cheesecake from cracking).
- Bake at 325 for 1 hour 15 minutes – 1 hour 25 minutes or until the center is set and top appears dull (not shiny).
- Remove springform pan from water bath and remove the foil wrapped around the outside of the pan.
- Cool cheesecake on rack for 10 – 15 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife (but do not remove sides of spring form pan) and let cool for another hour. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
- To make ganache, place chocolate chips in a small bowl. Add cream to a small pot and bring to a boil. Pour over chocolate chips and whisk until it is smooth – let cool.
- Remove sides of springform pan. Spread ganache over cheesecake and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Refrigerate until set and drizzle on caramel sauce right before serving. ENJOY!
