Creamy Caramel Cheesecake Delight: Indulgent Dessert Recipe with Step-by-Step Guide

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuit crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

Preparations

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon (if using), and melted butter. Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool while preparing the filling. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, vanilla, and eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream and heavy cream. Pour half the mixture over the crust, drizzle with caramel, add remaining mixture, and top with more caramel. Bake for 55-60 minutes. Cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Tips for Perfection

Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. Bake in a water bath for even cooking. Serve with extra caramel for a decadent touch.
