Ingredients
Scale
- 200g Shortbread cookies
- 100g Unsalted butter
- 450g Cream cheese
- 300ml Heavy cream
- 100g Confectioners’ sugar
- 200ml Caramel sauce
- 200g Dark chocolate
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine crushed shortbread cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and chill to set.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream until fully combined.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least four hours to set properly.
- Add the caramel layer: Once the cheesecake has set, drizzle heated caramel sauce over the surface, allowing some to drip down the sides.
- Prepare the ganache: Heat cream briefly until steaming, then pour over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until glossy. Pour over the caramel layer.
- Chill again: Return to the refrigerator for at least an hour to set the ganache before serving.
