Ingredients

Cookie Base

  • 1.5 cups cookie crumbs (graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
  • 0.25 cup melted butter (salted or unsalted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.75 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.25 cup toffee bits (crushed Heath bars)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Topping

  • Caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup broken caramel bars (Heath bars or similar)

Instructions
 

  • Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl; press firmly into the bottom of a 7-8 inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set.
  • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • In a small saucepan, combine milk and gelatin; let sit for one minute to bloom. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
  • Stir a few spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture into the gelatin mixture to temper it. Then, gently fold the gelatin mixture into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  • Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate it. Stir in the toffee bits.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  • Before serving, drizzle generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle with broken caramel bars.

Notes

Feel free to experiment! Use different cookies for the crust, like chocolate wafers or Oreos. Add a swirl of chocolate sauce to the filling for an extra decadent touch. You could even use different types of caramel – salted caramel would be amazing!
