Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup warm cream
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Press the cookie crumbs and butter into a springform pan.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar smooth, fold in the whipped cream, and spread over the crust.
  3. Pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate and stir into a smooth ganache.
  4. Pour the ganache over the chilled filling and tilt to coat evenly.
  5. Drizzle with caramel, add pecans, and chill at least 4 hours until set.

Notes

Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring so it doesn't melt the filling.
