Hazelnut Cheesecake with Chocolate Cookie Crust and Caramel Sauce


Happy Holidays Everyone!

So, I am not much of a pumpkin person. I am also not much of a pie person. (Hence, I DO have a cake blog) I am always looking for some dessert for Thanksgiving that is festive and has a fall-type flavor. I pulled out an old cheesecake recipe from about 20 yrs ago and changed it up a bit. Hazelnuts are a delicious nut and add incredible flavor to this cheesecake. The original recipe has no crust at all. What could be better than a chocolate cookie crust! And, just to top it off, I added a caramel sauce. A little caramel sauce on the plate, place cheesecake on top, and a dollop of whipped cream. There you go, the perfect Thanksgiving dessert!

  1. Remember guys,if you are pressed for time and don't want to make your own caramel sauce, just buy a good one and it will be great! I will post another picture when I serve it, so you can see how beautiful it is on the plate. I am saving it for Thanksgiving!
