Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake

Ingrediants

9 inch chocolate crumb piecrust
1 7 ounce package of caramels (or half of a 14 oz bag)
1/4 cup (1 small can) evaporated milk
6 oz chocolate chip pieces
2 (3-ounce_ packages cream cheese soften
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/4 milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (4 ounce) package of instant pudding mix
For Topping:
2 cups of whipped cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar*
2 tablespoons of baking cocoa*
*Flavor to your taste

Instructions

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Original recipe said to process in a blender. Well, I use a mixer, just use a small bowl. Mix until smooth. Add pudding mix; mix about 30 seconds longer. Set aside. Place caramels in a heavy sauce pan. When they begin to melt, add evaporated milk. Heat over medium-heat, stirring continually, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate pieces. Pour into piecrust. Pour pudding mixture over caramel layer. Put this in the frig to chill (for faster chilling, put in the freezer). For topping mix the whipped cream, powder sugar, and cocoa. Spread over the pie and chill over night.

Some options. The original recipe that I used as a guideline called for 3/4 chopped pecans instead of chocolate pieces. Mix have the pecans in the caramel mix. Then pour into piecrust. Instead of a whipped topping, drizzle 1/2 cup fudge topping in a decorative pattern, and sprinkle top with remaining pecans.
