Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Melt the butterscotch chips with heavy cream in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Mix the melted butterscotch into the cheesecake batter until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Top with butterscotch sauce and whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Serving Tip: Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
  • Extra Flavor: Sprinkle sea salt over the butterscotch sauce for a salted butterscotch version.
