Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
- 3 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel topping
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar (for caramel)
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons butter (for caramel)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup toffee bits (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Mix together graham cracker crumbs, toffee bits, salt, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into a 10-inch springform pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake for 5 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until caramel colored. Add butter and heavy cream, stir until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Add vanilla, caramel, and eggs, mixing until just combined. Pour into the crust. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- After baking, let the cheesecake sit in the turned-off oven for 30 minutes, then cool for 30 minutes before refrigerating for 6 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the remaining caramel with 1/2 cup toffee bits on top of the cheesecake, pipe whipped cream around the edge, and garnish with toffee bits.
- Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra caramel sauce or toffee bits.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. Chill the whipped cream bowl to achieve stiff peaks quicker.
