Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tbsp (85g) melted butter
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled

For the Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp (90g) unsalted butter, cubed
• ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
• A pinch of salt

For Garnish:

• Whipped cream (optional)
• ½ cup (50g) crushed cookies or biscuit crumbs
• Caramel drizzle for extra sweetness

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until everything is well combined.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer.
3. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to help it set and firm up.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
5. Refrigerate the cheesecake for 4–6 hours, or overnight, for the best results.

Step 3: Create the Caramel Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden amber color.
2. Add the butter, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously (the mixture will bubble up).
4. Remove from heat, stir in a pinch of salt, and let the caramel cool to room temperature.

Step 4: Add the Topping

1. Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove it from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
2. Drizzle the homemade caramel sauce generously over the top of the cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides.
3. Sprinkle crushed biscuits or cookie crumbs over the top for a delightful crunch.
4. For an extra touch, add whipped cream to the top for decoration.

Pro Tips

• For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a small pinch of cinnamon to the crust mixture.
• Keep the caramel sauce slightly warm for easy drizzling over the cheesecake.
• Make sure the heavy cream is well-chilled for better whipping results.
