My favorite thing out of my prize bag was this set of measuring spoons. They are so cute! I love how they say smidgen, pinch and dash.:)
Okay, now for the recipe...I know you're dying to have it! It's now an award-winning recipe. It comes from Taste of Home, and it's guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. I love it's sweet and nutty flavor--not like the super-sweet taste of regular pecan pies.
Caramel-Pecan Cheesecake Pie
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1-1/4 cups chopped pecans
1 cup caramel ice cream topping
In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg and vanilla until smooth. Spread into pastry shell; sprinkle with pecans. In a small bowl, whisk remaining eggs; gradually whisk in caramel topping until blended. Pour over pecans. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned (loosely cover with foil after 20 minutes if pie browns too quickly). Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight before slicing. If desired, drizzle extra caramel sauce over pie. Refrigerate leftovers.
