Layered Turtle Cheesecake Recipe

Reviewed on Dec. 30, 2012 by JennTats

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!

I had looked everywhere for a turtle cheesecake and when i found out how good this one was i kept it close. Absolutely amazing.

I have made this 2x times now. First time, everyone raved about how amazing it was. I wanted to make it for a BBQ shortly after, but I didn't want such a big one. I cut the recipe in half and made it in a glass round bowl that was about half the size. Lined it all with a double layer of foil. It turned out absolutely perfect.

It is a lot of steps and detailed, but I promise the results are well worth it!

THIS WAS HEAVENLY!!! Totally worth the effort. I think this and the berry cheesecake are the two best cheesecake recipes from Taste Of Home!

Made this for Father's Day for my husband who loves all things turtle. It was amazing!! My other family and friends don't know how lucky they are that I will be making this in the future for other special occassions. It's a bit time consuming and has to be made a day ahead, but 100% worth the the effort!

This turtle cheesecake was absolutely divine and can't wait for an excuse to make it again!! I made this for my birthday and had many rave reviews!! To take this to the next level, I would highly recommend toasting the pecans; and making your own thick and rich caramel topping melting caramel squares and heavy cream (the caramel sauce was also a huge hit!).

posipati-in the 4th step, after you put the caramel and nuts on, the recipe tells you to add the reserved batter.

I have not yet tried making this and it does sound delicious but am curious as to what happens to the 1 cup of batter that was removed?

I make this recipe and add special "secret" ingredients each time. I have sold several of them and they are the talk of the town. family begs for it, friends invite themselves over for it and I had one connoisseur said he has traveled the world over and has never tasted a better cheesecake...My signature cheesecake now!

I used this recipe for my first Thanksgiving. It was also my first time making cheesecake from scratch. I was overwhelmed by all of the steps but it was definitely worth it. I am hosting Thanksgiving again this year and everyone has requested I make the "best cheesecake ever" I think it will be a tradition to make this every year! Its simply amazing!
