Prepare the buttery crust mixture by adding all ingredients into a food processor and process until combined and you have course crumbs. Press onto the bottom and sides of an 8 inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
Make the keto caramel sauce and set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese, caramel extract to a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Blend until combined. Pour in a 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce and blend until incorporated. Reserve 1/4 cup for the top of the cheesecake.
Pour in heavy whipping cream and caramel monk fruit sweetener into the cream cheese mixture. Blend until thick and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed. Spread the cheesecake batter into the crust making an even layer. Spread the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and cover the pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
To serve with optional toppings; Prepare the keto candied crunchy pecans and sprinkle over the top of the cheesecake. Add sugar free chocolate chips and butter to a small microwavable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir until smooth, no lumps. Alternately you can add butter and chocolate chips to a small saucepan and melt over low heat on the stove. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the cheesecake and serve.
Store any leftover keto turtle cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
