Caramel Cheesecake is a decadent dessert that combines a chocolate cookie crust, a rich and creamy cheesecake filling, and a luscious caramel topping. Perfect for celebrations or indulgent treats, it delivers a balance of sweet and tangy flavors in every slice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Optional: Chocolate curls or shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil.
  2. In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger pan and add hot water halfway up the sides for a water bath.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Once chilled, pour caramel sauce over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
  12. Garnish with chocolate curls or shavings if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • A water bath helps prevent cracks and promotes even baking.
  • Letting the cheesecake cool gradually helps set the texture.
  • Use parchment paper if not using a springform pan for easier removal.
  • Chill overnight for best results and flavor development.
