Ingredients
For the crust:
-
1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1/4 cup sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
-
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup butterscotch sauce
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
3 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the buttery crumble:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
-
Make the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and butterscotch sauce until fully combined. Pour this filling over the cooled crust.
-
Prepare the Crumble: In a separate bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut the chilled butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this buttery crumble evenly over the cheesecake batter.
-
Bake & Chill: Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
-
Serve & Enjoy: Slice the cheesecake, drizzle with extra butterscotch sauce, and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich, creamy layers with every bite!
Notes
-
For a more decadent touch, serve with whipped cream and extra butterscotch sauce.
-
Be sure to let the cheesecake cool fully at room temperature before refrigerating to avoid condensation.
-
If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie dish, but be mindful of how you remove it after baking.
