Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Using a heavy saucepan, heat caramels and evaporated milk over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. |
| 2 | Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the caramel mixture and stir until well combined. |
| 3 | Pour the caramel-pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. |
| 4 | In a blender, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. |
| 5 | Add the instant chocolate pudding mix to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds more, until fully incorporated. |
| 6 | Pour the pudding mixture over the caramel layer in the pie crust, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly. |
| 7 | Chill the cheesecake loosely covered in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, allowing it to set slightly. |
| 8 | Once chilled, drizzle fudge topping over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with the remaining chopped pecans for garnish. |
| 9 | Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill loosely covered until ready to serve. |
Tips:
- For a smoother caramel layer, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead of melting caramels with evaporated milk.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust for the pie.
- Garnish the cheesecake with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
- Make sure to chill the cheesecake for at least a few hours before serving to allow it to set properly and develop its flavors.
