After receiving a request for a special turtle cheesecake and not finding a good recipe, I created my own. Everyone is thrilled with the results and this cheesecake remains a favorite at the coffee shop where I work. —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

I am not a cook or a girl that bakes but I tried this and oh my goodness it was so amazing!!! It is a lot of stops but I didnt find it complicated at all(and again I am not a cook!). I did replace Pecans with Hazelnut because I do not enjoy pecans and it was absolutely to die for... I remember my family saying they were glad we didnt go to the cheesecake factory! lol.. Awesome!!

I have made many cheesecake recipes but this was the best this year! It's worth the work and I wouldn't change a thing unless you wanted to make your own caramel sauce but you don't have to taste great both ways!

I used hot fudge and caramel ice cream topping to make the recipe a little easier and it tasted great. Very rich- you can only eat a little at a time but it's so delicious!

I have made many different kinds of cheesecake and this one is by far the best. Lots of flavor! The crust is great too!

I loved the crust on this. The nuts give it a nice variation. I make regular NY style cheesecake often and this was a nice change of pace. The family really liked it.

WOW! This was the first cheesecake I have ever baked and it was phenomenal! Any advice on how this could be made into cupcakes?

I make treats for my husband's soldiers all the time. But this one was different. My husband told me that he left the room, after saving some for himself of course, for his break, and when he came back five to then minutes later it was gone. All of them LOVED it. I will definately be making this again. You have a gift, and if you create another recipe definately share. Thanks!
