Delicious Caramel Swirl Cheesecake

This cheesecake features a creamy filling made with cream cheese, sugar, and eggs, swirled with caramel sauce for added flavor. It requires chilling time, so plan ahead. The recipe serves 8-10 people.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Add Caramel: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the filling and use a knife to swirl it gently. Pour the remaining filling on top and repeat with the remaining caramel sauce.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Serve: Release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top before slicing and serving.
