  6. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
Baking

  2. Before serving, top with remaining caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and pecans.

Notes

For best results, let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. It can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. To freeze, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
