Butterscotch cheesecake recipe

With this butterscotch cheesecake, you will taste a sweet hint of the butterscotch. This is one of the richest and creamiest cheesecakes I have baked yet! Even if you are not a big fan of butterscotch, I suggest you give it a try!

 

Butterscotch Cheesecake

Crust:

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:

  • 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¾ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips, melted

Topping:

  • 1 container of cool whip
  • Caramel ice cream topping

Pre-heat oven to 325*.
Line 9x13 baking dish with no-stick foil.
In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter.
Press onto the bottom of prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.
For filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth.
Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
Add melted butterscotch.
Pour over crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull.
Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. (Overnight is best)

When chilled, coat with cool whip. Squeeze topping over cool whip and swirl in with the tip of a knife.
