My favorite thing about this dessert is that there's absolutely no baking required, which means you can whip it up in just twenty minutes. The creamy cheesecake filling gets its richness from real cream cheese, which contains casein protein to keep you satisfied longer. I love how the buttery graham cracker crust pairs with generous swirls of caramel sauce and topped with crunchy caramel pecans. It's the perfect make ahead dessert for busy weeknights or when you want something impressive without heating up the oven.
