A little rough this morning, but I still managed to cut Randy’s hair, top and rinse all the strawberries and put them in a jar because they last so much longer that way, made carmel out of sweetened condensed milk and made real whipped cream, and put it together in a Butter Brickle Carmel Pecan Cheesecake. This stuff is so good it will nearly bring a man to tears. Highly recommend.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup butter, melted
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup quick cooking oats
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter, melted
¾ cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel topping
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup melted butter, and white sugar in a medium bowl until well mixed. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 6 minutes. Cool completely.
Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and pecans in a large bowl until well mixed. Lightly pat onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble while still hot. Cool completely.
Beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in condensed milk until well blended. Fold in whipped topping.
Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the oat crumbles over the cream cheese mixture, and spread 1/2 of the caramel sauce over that. Repeat layers. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Remove pan sides and serve cold.
