Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
1 cup caramel sauce
Additional chocolate chips and heavy cream for drizzle (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Return to the fridge and chill for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Step 3: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and airy filling.
Step 4: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the set chocolate layer. Pour the caramel sauce over the cheesecake and smooth it gently with a spatula to cover the surface.
Step 5: Optionally, melt additional chocolate chips with a small amount of heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle this melted chocolate over the caramel layer for a decorative touch.
Step 6: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Slice and enjoy the layers of chocolate, caramel, and creamy cheesecake.

Tips & Variations

Use store-bought caramel sauce for convenience or make your own for a richer flavor.
For a crunchier crust, toast the graham cracker crumbs briefly before mixing with butter.
Substitute the whipped cream in the filling with whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel layer to enhance the sweetness and balance flavors.

Storage

Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier slicing. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.

How to Serve

A square-shaped dessert with five distinct layers is shown on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a coarse, crumbly crust in light brown with visible bits of nuts or grains. Above this is a smooth, light mocha-colored layer, topped by a thin dark brown chocolate layer. Next is a thick, creamy white layer, followed by a glossy caramel layer that forms the top. The caramel layer is adorned with chopped nuts and dried fruit pieces, adding a crunchy texture and rich color contrast on top. The overall look is neat with clean, straight edges.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream instead of heavy cream?

Heavy cream is best because it provides the right richness and helps create a smooth ganache and light filling. Regular cream has a lower fat content and may not set as well.

Is it possible to make this cheesecake gluten-free?

Yes, simply substitute the graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free cookies or cracker crumbs to keep the crust gluten-free without sacrificing flavor.
