Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce plus extra for drizzling
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Butterscotch: Fold in the 1/2 cup of butterscotch sauce, creating swirls throughout the mixture without fully blending.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Drizzle additional butterscotch sauce on top and use a knife to create decorative swirls.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best set.
- Serve: Once set, slice and serve topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Drizzle with more butterscotch sauce before serving.
