Bake until center is almost set, 65-70 minutes., For topping, combine sour cream and sugar; carefully spread over warm filling. Bake until topping is set, 10-12 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. , Chill for 8 hours or overnight, covering when completely cooled. Remove sides of pan. Just before serving, drizzle with reserved caramel mixture; sprinkle with reserved pecans. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring once, 10 minutes; let cool. Set aside 1 cup perfect pecan halves for topping.
• Transfer the remaining 1 cup pecans to a food processor with the flour, confectioners' sugar and salt; process until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter and egg yolk and pulse until the dough is moistened and starts to clump together. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Line the crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until firm and dry around the edges, about 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and continue baking until the crust is lightly browned all over, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the granulated sugar, golden syrup and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; stir until dissolved. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep amber color, thickens slightly and registers 300˚ on a candy thermometer, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the diced butter, 1 piece at a time, until smooth and thickened. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Let cool slightly, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust and arrange the reserved pecans on top. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 3 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Wrap foil tightly around outside of 9-inch-diameter springform pan. Blend hazelnuts and sugar in food processor until nuts are finely ground. Add melted butter; blend until moist clumps form. Press nut mixture onto bottom (not sides) of prepared pan.
• For filling:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Pour filling over crust. Bake until cheesecake puffs and is set around sides but center still moves slightly when pan is gently shaken, about 50 minutes. Transfer cheesecake to rack. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Cool cake completely. Remove foil from pan. Cover with plastic and chill overnight.
• For caramel sauce:
• Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Boil sauce until reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool. Spoon 1/2 cup caramel sauce evenly over top of cheesecake, leaving 1/2-inch border around edge. Arrange additional hazelnuts decoratively around outside edge of cake. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake until topping sets, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep cheesecake refrigerated. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.) Release pan sides from cheesecake. Transfer cake to platter. Rewarm remaining sauce just until pourable but not warm. Slice cheesecake. Serve, passing sauce separately.
