Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 325F and stir the graham crumbs with melted butter, then press into a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time.
  3. Mix in sour cream and vanilla, then fold in half the toffee bits.
  4. Pour over the crust and bake 55 to 60 minutes until the center barely jiggles.
  5. Cool on the counter, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Top with remaining toffee bits and a caramel drizzle before serving.

Notes

A water bath keeps the top crack-free, but a pan of water on the rack below works in a pinch.
