Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed biscuits or graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 500 g cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Caramel Topping:
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F).
In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly.
Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes. The center should still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for about 30 minutes. This helps reduce cracking.
Remove the cheesecake and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, pour the caramel sauce over the top and spread gently.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt if you enjoy salted caramel flavor.
Texture and Flavor
This cheesecake is rich, creamy, and smooth with a soft buttery crust underneath.

The contrast between the slightly tangy cream cheese and sweet caramel creates a balanced and indulgent dessert.
Tips for Best Results
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
Do not overmix after adding the eggs because too much air can cause cracks.
Chill the cheesecake well before slicing for cleaner pieces.
Warm the knife slightly before cutting for neat slices.
