Recipe Description
Pumpkin turtle cheesecake is an extra creamy cheesecake with a graham cracker crust made New York style. Topped with caramel, chocolate sauce and toasted pecans, this is cheesecake taken to a new level.
It’s pumpkin season and cheesecake is my husbands favorite, in particular New York cheesecake. I’ve been promising him a cheesecake for some time, so I combined both of his favorites all into one amazing dessert by making it turtle.
