Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs (Digestive, savoiardi, or graham cracker crumbs)

1/4 cup butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

3/4 cup powdered/icing sugar

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole/whipping cream

1/4 cup toffee bits

1 tablespoon gelatine

2 tablespoons milk

For the Topping:

Caramel sauce, to taste

1 cup broken chocolate caramel bars

Instructions

Prepare the Base: Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture down on the bottom of a 7-8 inch springform cake pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set.

Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. In a separate bowl, beat the cold cream until stiff peaks form. Dissolve the gelatine in milk over low heat, then mix it with a portion of the cream cheese mixture. Fold this into the remaining cream cheese mixture. Finally, fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, adding the toffee bits for that extra crunch.

Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled cookie base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or overnight, to ensure it sets perfectly.

The Finishing Touch: Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle the broken chocolate caramel bars over the top for a decadent finish.

Notes

Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before starting. This makes it easier to blend, resulting in a smoother filling without lumps.
Gelatine: For a vegetarian alternative, agar-agar can be used in place of gelatine. However, the setting properties differ, so adjust the quantity according to package instructions.
Chilling Time: The chilling time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly. While 4-5 hours might suffice, an overnight chill is recommended for the best texture.
Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toffee bits or a drizzle of additional caramel sauce.
Storage: This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze as directed in the FAQs section.
Allergy Information: This recipe contains dairy and gluten. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies for the base. Always check individual ingredient labels for additional allergens.
