Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup caramelized pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F for about 8 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the filling: In another mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with brown sugar until smooth. Mix in butterscotch chips, then add eggs one at a time. Finally, stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled crust. Bake at 325°F for 55-60 minutes until the center is just set.
  4. Add toppings: Cool the cheesecake completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, top with sour cream, drizzle with heavy cream, and sprinkle with caramelized nuts if desired.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight before serving. Consider using gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
