Golden Caramel Symphony Cheesecake – A Sublime Harmony of Creamy Indulgence and Luscious Caramel Crescendo!
📋 Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup sour cream
For the Topping:
1/4 cup caramel sauce
(Optional: whipped cream, sea salt flakes, or chopped nuts for garnish)
📝 Instructions:
Preheat & Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, caramel sauce, and sour cream until fully incorporated.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Chill & Garnish:
Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until completely set.
Just before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and, if desired, garnish with whipped cream, sea salt flakes, or chopped nuts.
Enjoy your Golden Caramel Symphony Cheesecake – every decadent slice is a perfect harmony of creamy, caramel bliss that sings with pure indulgence!
