Rich and Creamy Caramel Cheesecake with a Buttery Crust
Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup caramel sauce, divided
1/2 tsp sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream.
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, then drizzle with 1/2 cup caramel sauce.
Pour the remaining batter over the caramel layer.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour. Then, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with sea salt.
