Short. Sweet. Simple.

Yep.

And Utterly Fantstic.

That pretty much sums up this super easy dessert.

Just take a store-bought frozen cheesecake and glam it up, Turtle-style, with some easy chocolate ganache, toasted pecans and swirls of caramel sauce.

Simple Turtle Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 frozen New York-style cheesecake (30 ounces), thawed
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Directions:

1. Place cheesecake on a serving plate.

2. Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate and stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool slightly, stirring occasionally.

3. Pour melted chocolate over cheesecake and sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate until set.

4. In a small saucepan, melt butter then stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in remaining cream and return to a boil. Remove from heat. Serve sauce warm with cheesecake or, if desired, cool completely and drizzle over cheesecake.

Serves 8

Here’s a short song.

And a sweet song.

“And when our time does end
’cause bodies fade and falter
I just can’t imagine
the pain of loss I’ll put you through
Just know
it goes
but my love stays”
