Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 250 g / 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 100 g / 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 500 g / 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 200 ml / 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 100 g / 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 g / 2 tsp gelatin powder
Topping:
- 200 g / 1 cup caramel sauce
- 100 g / 3.5 oz toffee pieces
- 50 g / 1/4 cup additional caramel for drizzling
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, then blend thoroughly with melted butter to create a uniform, moist base mixture.
- Press the cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, compacting with the back of a spoon to create a solid foundation.
- Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
- Whip cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually incorporate granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated and silky.
- Dissolve gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of cold water, allowing it to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently warm the bloomed gelatin until completely liquefied, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then carefully fold into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for minimum 4 hours or overnight until completely set and firm.
- Once set, generously drizzle caramel sauce across the top of the cheesecake.
- Sprinkle toffee pieces uniformly over the caramel layer, creating a crunchy, sweet topping.
- Finish by adding additional caramel in delicate swirls for extra indulgence.
- Chill for an additional 30 minutes before serving to allow toppings to set.
Notes
- Ensure graham crackers are finely ground to prevent a crumbly, unstable crust that might fall apart when slicing.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly.
- Bloom gelatin precisely to guarantee proper setting and prevent a runny cheesecake texture.
- For gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to maintain the same delicious base.
