Toffifee Cheesecake

Indulge in a deliciously creamy Toffifee Cheesecake that combines the rich flavors of cream cheese and caramel with the delightful crunch of Toffifee candies. This decadent dessert is perfect for special occasions or when you’re in the mood for something truly indulgent.

Ingredients

2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
Toffifee candies for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
3. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
4. Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
5. Before serving, top the cheesecake with Toffifee candies and drizzle with extra caramel sauce for an elegant finish.
