Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (302g) chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
- 5 tbsp (70g) salted butter, melted
- 24 ounces (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (104g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (90g) light brown sugar
- 3 tbsp (25g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (230g) sour cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (172g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp (56g) salted butter for caramel sauce
- 2/3 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for caramel sauce
- 2 tsp corn syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- Lower oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). Beat cream cheese, both sugars, and flour until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust. Place springform pan in a larger pan and add water to the larger pan until halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 70 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for 30 minutes. Cool with the door ajar for another 30 minutes and then chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.
- For the caramel sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar melts, then boil for 3 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes and drizzle over the cheesecake.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake, optionally with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Use a water bath to prevent cracks, and cool cheesecake properly in the oven.
