Ingredients

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1/4 cup water

2 cups heavy cream

6 ounces chocolate chips

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

22 pieces caramel candy

2 tablespoons butter

2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs

3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

1/2 cup melted butter

Directions

In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand for 1 minute. Stir over low heat until dissolved. Stir in 1 c. cream, bring to boil & pour into blender with chocolate. Process until chocolate is melted. While processing, add 1/2 c. cream, eggs and vanilla; process until well-blended. Pour into bowl and chill until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Make crust by mixing 2 c. chocolate wafer crumbs, 3/4 c. finely chopped pecans and the melted butter. Press into 9" springform pan and up sides for a high rim. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.

In another pan, mix caramels, 1/4 c. cream and butter. Stir until melted; pour into crust and cool for 10 minutes.

With wisk, beat chocolate mixture until smooth, pour into crust and chill until firm. Top with whipped cream.

NOTE: To make this gluten-free, I've bought oreo-like gluten-free cookies, scraped out the filling, and used them like chocolate wafer cookies. Couldn't tell the difference from the regular crust. And it was WELL worth the effort!
