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
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
  • 1/2 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 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 until smooth. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and butterscotch sauce, and mix until well combined.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Bake the cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
Chill and serve
  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Before serving, top with whipped cream and drizzle with additional butterscotch sauce.
