Gotta Have It: Caramel Toffee Crunch Cheesecake

April 30, 2012

This decadent caramel toffee crunch cheesecake by Yammie's Noshery is a whole lot of goodness wrapped up in one dessert.  There are layers upon layers of your favorite flavors beginning with a toffee crust made with buttery toffee bits and graham crackers.  Next comes a thick layer of milk chocolate that is then filled with a rich cheesecake batter.  Once baked and cooled, the cheesecake is topped with a caramel and more toffee bits (too much is a good thing in this case).  Caramel toffee crunch cheesecake will lure you into the kitchen and start baking.

Ingredients:

Crust:
3 cups graham cracker crumbs  (about 2 packages crushed graham crackers)
1/2 cup toffee bits (I used the kind of Heath that has some chocolate on it)
pinch salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 sticks butter (1 cup), melted
1 1/4 chocolate chips

Filling:
3 packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup caramel topping (recipe below)
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Topping:
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup caramel
1/2 cup toffee bits, plus more for garnish (again, I used the chocolaty heath bits)
