Directions
-
Begin with the chocolate digestive biscuits or graham crackers. Crush them into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and using a rolling pin. This will form the base of your cheesecake and creates a tremendous crunch.
-
In a bowl, mix the fine crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Once combined, press it firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, ensuring it is even and compact.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat this mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Take your time with this step; a tremendous creamy texture is key to a perfect cheesecake.
-
Pour half of the caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold it in to distribute the flavor without losing the creamy consistency.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit base in the pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
-
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Then, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel for an eye-catching finish.
-
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until it has fully set. This waiting time is crucial for helping the flavors meld and stabilize.
-
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice into wedges and enjoy every tremendous bite of this delicious dessert!
