Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
Topping
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch sauce for drizzling

Method
 

Prepare the crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, butterscotch sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the heavy cream until smooth.
Bake the cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Serve
  1. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with butterscotch sauce before serving.
