Ingredients: 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed 2 tablespoons butter, melted 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup sour cream 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup caramel topping 1/2 cup chocolate fudge topping 1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the crushed sandwich cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until well combined and they resemble coarse crumbs. Press the cookie mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 30 more seconds then increase the speed to medium. Beat for 1 more minute or until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the chilled crust. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until the cheesecake is almost set in the center (it should be moist and just ever so slightly jiggly).
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let cool, covered lightly with foil. Place the cooled cheesecake in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Serve the cheesecake drizzled with caramel and fudge toppings and sprinkled with pecan halves.
