I created this creamy cheesecake using two favorites—caramel and pecans. It's a stunning cake and rivals any I've tasted.

This recipe was the first cheesecake I had ever made and it turned out beautifully - and wonderfully delicious! I took it to an anniversary party where 10 different kinds of cheesecake were served and I repeatedly heard guests say this was their favorite. Go ahead and try it for yourself!
