Description
A delicious dessert that combines the rich taste of cheesecake with sweet flavors of caramel and fudge.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 32 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
- 1/2 cup hot fudge topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until well mixed.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and 2/3 of the way up the sides of a springform pan. Ensure it’s packed down firmly.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until smooth, light, and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the baked crust.
- Drizzle half of the caramel and hot fudge toppings over the batter. Use a fork or knife to gently swirl the toppings into the batter.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel and fudge toppings on the surface and swirl again.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-70 minutes, until the center jiggles uniformly when gently shaken.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 15 minutes to help prevent cracking.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the counter and let it cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Drizzle extra caramel and fudge over the top before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
