This recipe is made with graham chocolate crust, caramel, chocolate and pecans. It's rich, creamy and delicious. The whole cheesecake is topped with pecans and drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce.

Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin puree

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup graham chocolate crust

3 package (8 onces each ) cream cheese softened

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoon butter (melted)

2 tablespoon milk

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 1/2 pumpkin spice

1 cup fine chopped pecans

1/4 cup caramel melted

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate

Instructions:

Prepare the crust:

In a bowl combine the graham chocolate crust with melted butter and milk. Press onto the bottom of the greased 9 -inch pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice and sour cream.

In a double boiler melt the semisweet chocolate. In a separate bowl melt the caramel.

Add the chopped pecans to crust, creating the first layer. Then add 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture. Add the melted caramel layer to the crust.

Preheat the oven at 350 F.

Add the rest of the cream cheese to the crust. Cover with foil pepper around the baking pan to prevent water from getting inside.

Place a baking sheet with water in the oven and place the cheese cake on it. Bake for 1 hour or until center is set. Remove from oven, using knife or spatula to loosen the cheese cake from side of pan.

Cool on wire rack additional 30 minutes. Remove side of pan, let it cool for an hour.

Place the cheese cake in a flat surface or plate, add the pecans on top, drizzle over cheese cake the melted chocolate and caramel. Refrigerate over night.
