--

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Shape the crust: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Evenly distribute the crust mixture into the bottom of each liner, pressing it firmly to create a solid base. Set aside.

      Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

        Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the crust in each muffin liner, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

            Add toppings: Once the cheesecakes are set, drizzle the caramel sauce and chocolate sauce over each mini cheesecake. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, and if desired, add a pinch of sea salt for an extra flavor kick.

              Serve: Carefully peel the liners away and serve your delightful No-Bake Turtle Mini Cheesecakes chilled. Enjoy the rich, creamy cheesecake that’s perfectly complemented by the sweet caramel, chocolate, and crunchy pecans!
