Ingredients
- Graham Cracker Crumbs: 1 1/2 cups
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (melted)
- Granulated Sugar: 1/4 cup
- Salt: 1/4 tsp
- Cream Cheese: 3 (8 oz) packages
- Light Brown Sugar: 1 cup
- Eggs: 3 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup
- Butterscotch Chips: 1 cup (melted)
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Light Brown Sugar (for crumble): 1/2 cup
- Unsalted Butter (for crumble): 1/2 cup (cold, cubed)
- Salt (for crumble): 1/4 tsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the heavy cream to the mixture, followed by the melted butterscotch chips. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cheesecake.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Cool the cheesecake to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cheesecake cools gradually in the oven to prevent cracking.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 4 hours to set the filling properly.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute with dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream for the heavy cream.
- For a gluten-free version, replace the graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free options like ground almonds.
