Toffee Caramel Cheesecake

Posted by on


Crust

3 cups graham cracker crumbs 
1/2 cup toffee bits
pinch salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
8 oz butter, melted
9 oz chocolate chips 
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. 
  2. Combine everything except the chocolate chips. 
  3. Press into a springform pan lined with parchment paper. Push all the way up the sides and press in firmly. 
  4. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Set the springform pan on a baking sheet (just in case it drips). 
  5. Bake for about five minutes or until the chocolate chips are melty. Smooth them out with an offset spatula. 

Filling

3 packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup caramel topping (recipe below)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
  1. Turn oven up to 325 F. Put a sheet tray filled with water on the bottom rack.
  2. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Scrape down the bowl.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds between each one. Scrape down the bowl after the second and fourth.
  4. Add the vanilla and caramel and beat well. 
  5. Pour into the crust. Wrap the springform pan with an aluminum foil collar. The cheese cake will rise and the collar prevents it from overflowing. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. 
  6. Turn the oven off and open the door about 4 inches, but leave the cheesecake in for about 30 more minutes. 
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for about 30 more minutes. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.


Caramel Sauce

1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
  1. In a medium sauce pan, combine the sugar and syrup. 
  2. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Once it is caramel colored, add the butter and stir until the butter is melted. 
  3. Add the cream and stir until it's all combined. Bring it back to the heat if you get clumps and stir it until they're dissolved. 
  4. Store in the refrigerator if not using right away. Makes about 3/4 cup.
