Ingredients
Scale
- Caramel Sauce:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
- Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 13 Toffifee candies
Instructions
- Make the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt sugar until amber (about 7 minutes). Whisk in butter, then gradually add heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Reserve 3/4 of the caramel, then stir in flour and chopped hazelnuts into the remaining caramel.
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, press into the bottom and sides of the pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Create the Cheesecake Filling: Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). Pour the caramel with hazelnuts into the cooled crust. Heat heavy whipping cream until boiling, pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Pour this chocolate layer over the caramel layer.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, brown sugar, and flour until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chocolate layer. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil, place in a larger pan filled with warm water halfway up the sides, and bake for 1 hour and 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes, then crack the oven door and cool for another 30 minutes.
- Chill and Serve: Remove cheesecake from the oven and water bath. Cover with aluminum foil (without touching the surface) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Upon chilling, unmold the cheesecake, drizzle reserved caramel on top, and decorate with Toffifee candies. Serve chilled.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Allow cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracks.
