Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, then add sugar. Mix in eggs one at a time on low speed, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Add Caramel and Pecans: Gently swirl in salted caramel sauce and fold in chopped toasted pecans.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling over the crust and bake at 325°F for 60-65 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  6. Top and Serve: Drizzle melted chocolate and additional salted caramel over the cooled cheesecake, garnish with more pecans, and slice.
