Ingredients
  

  • Indulge in a slice of heaven with this luscious caramel cheesecake! With a creamy airy batter layered over a crunchy cookie base, crowned by a silky white chocolate ganache and rich caramel swirls, this dessert is as impressive as it is delicious—perfect for any special occasion.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Batter:In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, crème fraîche, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, folding gently to keep the batter light and airy.
Build the Layers:
  1. Line a 24 cm springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Evenly crumble Bastogne cookies over the base.
  3. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cookies and smooth it out.
  4. Drizzle 75 g of caramel over the batter.
  5. Add another layer of crumbled cookies, followed by another drizzle of 75 g caramel.
  6. Pour the remaining batter on top and smooth the surface.
Bake to Perfection:
  1. Preheat your oven to 125°C (257°F).
  2. Bake for 60–65 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  3. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour, then allow it to cool completely.
Create the Dreamy Ganache:
  1. Heat the heavy cream until just below boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and add chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until the ganache is smooth.
Final Touches:
  1. Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake.
  2. Drizzle extra caramel on top and use a toothpick to create decorative swirls.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
Serve & Savor:
  1. Slice the cheesecake into neat pieces.
  2. Optionally garnish with extra caramel, whipped cream, or fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, allow the cheesecake to cool completely and refrigerate overnight.
  • Adjust the amount of caramel or ganache to suit your taste—more drizzles mean extra indulgence!
