Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 325* if using 9" spring form pan. (or 300* if using a dark nonstick 9" pan) Finely crush 50 of the vanilla wafers; mix with 1/4 C of the sugar and all of the melted butter. Press firmly onto the bottom of your pan. Stand remaining 16 wafers around the edge of the pan, pressing gently into crust to secure.
  • Beat crème cheese and remaining 1 C sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium until well blended. Add sour crème and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low after each addition just enough to blend. Pour into prepared crust.
  • Bake 45 to 50 min. or until center is ALMOST set. ( The heat will carry over once out of the oven and continue to cook the cake to correct doneness.) Run small knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or over night.
  • TOPPING
  • Microwave caramels and milk on HIGH 1 min. or until caramels are completely melted, stirring every 30 sec. Cool slightly. Poor over cheese cake ; top evenly with chopped pecans. Cut into 16 slices, using the wafers on the edge as a guide.

    Sounds great! Love vanilla wafer crusts! And anything with caramel, cream cheese and sour cream is going to be fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
