The turtle cheesecake is a unique type of dessert that is a mix of pecans, caramel candies and chocolate. It is a popular type of dessert that is enjoyable and is easy to make.
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.
The next parts of preparation involve getting cream cheese and chocolate chips prepared. Twenty-four ounces of cream cheese should be added to the recipe. After this you will need to use a half cup of white sugar along with three half teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Two eggs should then be added. The entire mixture should be mixed up to where it is smooth. Half a cup of chocolate chips will then need to be melted and mixed into the mixture.
Finally you can get the turtle cheesecake to be cooked in an oven. It will need to stay in an oven heated at 350 degrees for forty minutes. After you take it out you will need to keep it in a refrigerator overnight.
