Ingredients:
For the Cookie Base:
1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs (Digestive, Savoiardi, or graham cracker crumbs)
1/4 cup butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup toffee bits
1 tablespoon gelatin
2 tablespoons milk
For the Topping:
Caramel sauce, to taste
1 cup broken chocolate caramel bars
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 7-8 inch springform pan.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set.
Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream until stiff peaks form.
Dissolve the gelatin in milk over low heat, then mix it with a small portion of the cream cheese mixture.
Fold the gelatin mixture back into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, then add the toffee bits for extra crunch.
Assemble:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled cookie base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it sets perfectly.
The Finishing Touch:
Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake.
Sprinkle the broken chocolate caramel bars on top for a decadent finish.
Notes:
Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending and a smooth filling.
Gelatin: Substitute with agar-agar for a vegetarian option, adjusting the quantity as per package instructions since the setting properties differ.
Chilling Time: Allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 4-5 hours, though overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.
Serving Suggestion: Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toffee bits or an additional drizzle of caramel sauce for extra elegance.
Storage: Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze as directed in the FAQs section.
