While you’re at it, you may want to make two. Enjoy one yourself and freeze the other as a gift. Cheesecake is a great gift idea.

To start with making a turtle cheesecake you will need to get a cup of pecans prepared. The pecans should be chopped up properly to where they will be able to fill up the cup. These pecans will need to be placed in an oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes. After this is done you will need to melt some unsalted butter. Be sure to use six tablespoons of this butter when preparing your turtle cheesecake.

Next you will need two cups of crushed vanilla wafers. These wafers should then be mixed in with your melted butter and placed into a nine inch round springform pan. Be sure to put the pan on top of a cookie sheet. Next you can heat the mixture for ten minutes at 350 degrees. It will need to cool off after the ten minutes are over.

For the caramel flavor you will need to gather fourteen ounces of caramel candies and melt them. You will need to melt the caramel candies in five ounces of evaporated milk. For this part you will need five ounces of this milk. When this is finished you can stir the mixture and pour it on top of your newly formed crust. The pecans you handled during the first part of this process will then be added.

You will need to mix one pound and eight ounces of cream cheese, three half teaspoons of vanilla extract and half a cup of sugar. For the best results you should use white sugar as the sugar for your recipe.

When this is done you will need to add two eggs and mix everything up. You will need to melt some chocolate chips next. Be sure to gather enough for half a cup to mix into your recipe.

The last part deals with getting your turtle cheesecake properly baked. The mixture will go into your pan to be cooked for forty minutes at 350 degrees. Be sure to put the turtle cheesecake in a refrigerator and let it sit overnight. When you are finished you will be able to enjoy a great dessert and serve it to your friends.
