Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp high-quality vanilla extract
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts (for topping)
  • 4 tbsp melted white chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix melted butter with graham cracker crumbs until fully combined.
  2. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray and press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides.
  3. Place the crust in the fridge to firm up while you prepare the filling.
  4. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  5. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  6. In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Add sour cream and melted white chocolate, mixing until smooth.
  7. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
  8. Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust.
  9. Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce on top and gently swirl it with a knife.
  10. Sprinkle chopped macadamia nuts around the edges of the cheesecake.
  11. Set the springform pan on a cookie sheet and bake for 60-75 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  12. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
  13. Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to set completely.
  14. After chilling, remove the cheesecake from the fridge, top with extra macadamia nuts, drizzle melted white chocolate, and finish with more caramel sauce.
  15. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying every creamy, nutty, and caramel-filled bite.

For a richer flavor, use high-quality ingredients, particularly chocolate and vanilla.
