Instructions

*To make freshly whipped cream: With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until it just holds soft peaks. Add 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whip to combine until stiff peaks form. Do not overmix.

Make the cake: Beat the cream cheese and caramel until creamy. Fold in 3 cups of freshly whipped cream or Cool Whip.
-
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture in an 8 x 8 pan to coat the bottom.
-
Place 3 graham crackers across the center of the pan and then break up 1 or 2 more crackers as needed to fill in the gaps. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture on top.
-
Top with another layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to make them fit. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top.
-
Arrange the final layer of graham crackers. Spread the reserved 1/2 cup freshly whipped cream (or Cool Whip) over evenly.
-
Sprinkle on chopped pecans and shaved chocolate
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely. Prior to serving, drizzle with chocolate and caramel sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve chilled.
