This Turtle Cheesecake Recipe is inspired by the delicious recipes presented during the 12 Days of Christmas event at St. Francis Inn.  I know you will enjoy the decadent chocolate and caramel cheesecake as much as I did.

The historic St. Francis Inn (circa 1791) treats their guests 365 days a year to complimentary evening desserts that are homemade and uniquely created for a perfect ending before bedtime. After guests enjoy their dinner or activities throughout St. Augustine, they enjoy returning to the comforting parlor or dining room, sipping a beverage and indulging their sweet tooth on something yummy and surprising from cook Janice Leary’s kitchen.

For Christmas 2015, once again the Inn’s themed desserts will be paired with one of the ’12 Days of Christmas’. St. Francis Inn kindly shared their Turtle Cheesecake recipe with us. This recipe looks so easy to make even for a beginning baker. If you aren’t in the mood to bake up the Turtle Dove Cheesecake head over to St. Francis Inn for a night or two and enjoy their version. Happy Holidays!
