Caramel Cheesecake is a luscious, bakery-style dessert with a chocolate cookie crust, rich cream cheese filling, and a glossy caramel topping. Ideal for special occasions or indulgent moments.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup caramel sauce
  • Chocolate curls or shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the base of a springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes or chill for a no-bake crust.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  6. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, pour caramel sauce over the top and decorate with chocolate curls if desired.
  8. Slice using a hot knife for clean cuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a water bath during baking to reduce cracking.
  • Let all ingredients come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
  • Salted caramel adds a gourmet twist.
  • Can be made a day in advance for easier serving.
  • Wrap tightly before freezing to preserve texture.
