Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup mixed nuts, chopped (such as pecans and walnuts)
- Extra caramel and nuts for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Layer the Filling: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust, then drizzle some caramel sauce and sprinkle half of the chopped nuts on top. Add the remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the springform pan, and drizzle additional caramel sauce and sprinkle extra nuts on top before slicing and serving.
