Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped and toasted
• 0.5 cups Hot fudge sauce
• 0.5 cups Caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and flour to the cream cheese mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 6

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 7

Gently fold in the heavy cream and toasted pecans until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Place the springform pan into a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan to create a water bath.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake the cheesecake for 70-80 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for 1 hour.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Let it cool completely at room temperature.

Step 13

Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.

Step 14

Before serving, mix the hot fudge sauce and caramel sauce together in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.

Step 15

Drizzle the warm hot fudge caramel sauce over the cheesecake and garnish with additional toasted pecans, if desired. Slice and serve.
