How to Make Caramel Cheesecake
Step 1 – First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender. You want the cookies to be very fine.
Step 2 – Then, make the crust. Mix together the Oreos, melted butter, and a tablespoon of sugar. Once the crust is in the 9-inch springform pan, bake it for five minutes. Then set it aside while you make the filling.
Step 3 – Get out a large mixing bowl. Beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, and one cup of sugar. You can combine ingredients with a stand mixer with paddle attachment or a hand mixer on medium speed.
Step 4 – Next, add the eggs one at a time. Mix this together using a hand mixer until it is smooth.
Step 5 – Finally, pour your brickle chips or brickle toffee into batter and stir together.
Step 6 – Now that you have the cheesecake filling, pour the batter on top of your crust.
Step 7 – The last step is to spoon caramel on the top of the batter. Cut through the batter mixture with a knife several times to give the marbleized effect. This is what is going to make it look so pretty.
Step 8 – Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. The center should be set and not have any liquid.
- Step 9 – Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in a water bath if needed. Then remove from the cheesecake pan, and refrigerate for three hours. You can also place in the refrigerator overnight.
Recipe Tips
- Combining Crust Ingredients – Combine the crust ingredients all together making sure the crumbs are all coated. However, you do not want to make a paste.
- Adding Caramel Sauce – When swirling in the caramel sauce you do not want to completely mix into the cheesecake batter. You want it to have the swirl affect throughout the cheesecake.
- Baking Cheesecake – Cooking time will vary, but the cheesecake will be finished cooking when the center is set.
- Cream Cheese – For the best tasting cheesecake, make sure to use full fat cream cheese. We also recommend that the cream cheese be softened to room temperature. This helps to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Cool Cheesecake – Before slicing cheesecake make sure to allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
This caramel cheesecake is perfect for any occasion. It is simply enough to serve for an after dinner dessert or take to a holiday dinner. Serve with whipped topping or a salted caramel sauce for the best cheesecake.
