Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup cookie butter
  • 1 cup digestive or graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (thick and buttery)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine cookie butter, crushed digestive biscuits or graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined baking pan to form a firm, flavorful crust base.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing just until combined to ensure a silky texture without incorporating too much air.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly, approximately 35-40 minutes, to achieve a creamy consistency.
  4. Add the Caramel Topping: After cooling the bars completely, gently drizzle warm caramel sauce across the top. Allow the caramel to set slightly before slicing the bars into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Do not overmix the filling to prevent cracks and dense texture.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight for best setting and clean slicing.
  • Warm caramel sauce gently before drizzling for an even, glossy topping.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper with overhang for easy removal of bars.
