The best dessert in the whole world is CHEESECAKE!!!
So, we decided to try this one...
Nilla Praline Cheesecake!!
It turned out really good! Delicious!

Ours looked pretty good next to the professional one! YAY for baking!! Here's the recipe, try it out!

66 NILLA Wafers, divided

1-1/4 cups sugar, divided

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine or butter, melted

3 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1 tsp. vanilla

3 eggs

25 KRAFT Caramels

3 Tbsp. milk

1/2 cup Pecan Pieces, toasted

Make It

HEAT oven to 325°F. Finely crush 50 wafers; mix with 1/4 cup sugar and margarine. Press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Stand remaining wafers around edge, pressing gently into crust to secure.

BEAT cream cheese and remaining sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.

BAKE 45 to 50 min. or until center is almost set. Run small knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate 4 hours. Microwave caramels and milk on HIGH 1 min. or until caramels are completely melted, stirring every 30 sec. Cool slightly. Pour over cheesecake; top with nuts.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. To toast nuts in the oven, spread nuts in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
