A Father's Day to Remember

(Family Features) While Father's Day is for honoring dads, it's also a great opportunity to honor the men who have been father figures to us - stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, even friends who have played that role in our lives.

This year, take some extra time to tell those men how much they've meant to you. A card or letter, a phone call or a face to face conversation - you'll give them a Father's Day gift they'll never forget.

To show them your appreciation, have them over for a special dinner. Grill up some chicken and top it with this Cilantro Cream Sauce. Serve with some southwestern-inspired rice and follow it all up with these Double Chocolate Warm Pudding Cakes for a homey dessert.

Caramel Cheesecake

A spin on a classic dessert can either make or break an entire meal. This recipe is without a doubt a winner to make your whole family say, "yum."

This Caramel Cheesecake is smooth and fluffy on the inside, but the outside is topped with warm caramel and toasted, chopped pecans for that sweet and savory crunch you’ve been craving. The recipe is rich and full of that sweet cheesecake flavor. Anyone who likes cheesecake is going to devour this spin-off recipe in seconds.

To make the cheesecake, start by assembling the crust that’s made of crushed wafers, sugar and butter formed to the bottom of your cheesecake pan. Line leftover wafers around the perimeter of the pan to create a sturdy side to give the cheesecake some stability and texture.

Set the crust aside and mix filling ingredients until smooth and blended. It’s important to make sure all the elements are perfectly combined so the consistency of your cake is spot on.

Then it’s time to bake and cool on a wire rack for about an hour after it comes out of the oven. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight so everything is set and the flavors settle a bit.

Lastly, before serving, prepare the toppings. Microwave to heat the caramels with milk and drizzle over the perfectly baked cheesecake. Finally, sprinkle pecans on top.

This dessert is great for any occasion or just a sweet treat after a long day. It’s satisfying and creamy with some crunch – nearly everything you could ask for in a delicious dessert.

The cool cheesecake topped with the warm caramel makes for a blend of silky, satisfactory bliss. This cheesecake does take some planning ahead, but in the end, it’s totally worth it when you see the reactions of those who take a bite.
