Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
• Whipped cream, for serving

How to Make Caramel Cheesecake Slice

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the granulated sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
6. Gently fold in the caramel sauce, being careful not to overmix; you want to see swirls of caramel in the batter.
7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
10. Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent cracking.
• Let the cheesecake cool gradually to minimize cracks.
• For a cleaner slice, use a hot knife to cut through the cheesecake.

Easy Variations

• Swap graham cracker crumbs for Oreo crumbs for a chocolatey twist.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel sauce for a salted caramel flavor.
• Incorporate a layer of fruit, like sliced bananas or berries, for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a tart contrast.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
• A cup of coffee or espresso to complement the sweetness.
