Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 85 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 500 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 milliliters Caramel sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then pour in the heavy cream and mix until the filling is smooth.
Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of caramel sauce over the filling and gently swirl it with a toothpick or knife.
Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface with a spatula. Drizzle more caramel sauce over the top and swirl again if desired.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool slowly. This helps prevent cracks.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with a pinch of salt for a salted caramel flavor. Slice and enjoy!
