Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups digestive biscuits, crushed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup sugar (for caramel sauce)
1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Combine the crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form a crust.
Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix again. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the pan. Bake for about 60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour.
Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Make the caramel sauce by melting sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until smooth and glossy.
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve drizzled with warm caramel sauce.
Notes
For a beautiful presentation, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of sea salt. Can also be paired with coffee or ice cream.
