I came up with this recipe when I had a few leftover Aunt Sally's pralines.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup gingersnap crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4-8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon maple flavoring or vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 pralines, crushed or 1 cup almond brickle chips
  • 6 tablespoons of caramel sauce

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix crumbs and butter and press into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs one at a time. Fold in praline crumbs. Pour over crust. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the caramel to make a design.

Bake for 1 hour and 5 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. About two-inches in diameter in the center should still jiggle. Remove from oven. Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
