For the cheesecake layer:
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
Instructions
To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until ingredients are completely blended. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
To make the cheesecake layer: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Add the flour, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips, and beat until blended. Fold in the pecans. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the center is just set. Allow to cool completely.
To make the topping: In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour over the cooled cheesecake. Top with the chopped pecans and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
