Instructions

1)      Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  Take foil paper and wrap it around the outside of the bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan to prevent drips.  Then spray the bottom and 1-inch up side of pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2)      In a small bowl, begin mixing cookie crumbs and melted butter.  After crumbs and butter have been mixed together, press the mixture on the bottom and 1-inch up side of pan and set it in the oven to bake for 8 to 10 min or until set.  Then take it out and let it cool at room temperature for about 5 min then refrigerate for about 5 min or until cooled completely.

3)      Meanwhile, take another small bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin then set it aside.  In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.  Gradually, beat in brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.  Then on a low speed, beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended.  Finally gradually beat in pumpkin mixture until smooth.  Pour the filling over crust.

4)      Bake the combination for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes or until edges of cheesecake is set but center still jiggles slightly when moved.  Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.  Turn the oven off; and open oven door at least 4 inches and let the cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes.

5)      After the 30 minutes has finished then let it cool on cooling rack for 30 more minutes.  Then put the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

6)      Right before serving, sprinkle pecans over the top of the cheesecake.  In a small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate and oil uncovered on High1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted.  Then drizzle chocolate over pecans.

7)      To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake; carefully remove the side of pan and drizzle caramel topping over each serving.  Cover and store in the refrigerator. Who in your family will love this turtle pumpkin cheesecake recipe?
