For the Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 sleeve graham crackers crushed (approximately 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter melted
For the Oat-Pecan Crumble
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup quick cooking oats
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
For the No-Bake Cheesecake Layer
- 16 ounces cream cheese (regular or ⅓ less fat Neufchatel) softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip) thawed
- 8 ounces butterscotch-caramel ice cream topping or your favorite flavor
Cream cheese should rest at room temperature for about 45 minutes to soften before beginning.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with ¼ cup granulated sugar. Add ⅓ cup melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
Oat-Pecan Crumble
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, and brown sugar. Add ½ cup melted butte and mix until well combined. Pour out and evenly distribute onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until light brown. Use a spatula or spoon to crumble while still warm. Set aside to cool completely.
No-Bake Cheesecake
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, and the vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping.
Assemble
Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Sprinkle half of the oat-pecan crumbles over the cheesecake layer, and drizzle about one third of the caramel ice cream topping over the top. Repeat the layers one more time. Reserve remaining ice cream topping for serving.
Cover the springform pan with foil and freeze overnight or for at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve, remove the pan from the freezer and allow to rest at room temperature for about 5 or 10 minutes. Remove the pan sides, slice, and serve with additional ice cream topping drizzled over the top.
