Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with gluten-free cookies if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Use salted butter if unsalted isn't available.
Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Full-fat is recommended for best results.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can add deeper flavor.
  • 3 large Eggs Use at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for best taste.
Caramel Topping
  • 1 cup Caramel Sauce Homemade is great, but store-bought works too.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • mixing bowl
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your 9-inch springform pan for the crust.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, stirring until fully blended. Press into the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add eggs, mixing at low speed, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and bake for 45 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center slightly jiggly.
  5. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to firm up.
  6. To prepare the caramel topping, combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and butter in a saucepan. Stir continuously over medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  7. Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the caramel sauce over the top. Refrigerate for an additional hour to set the caramel.
  8. Slice and serve your Millionaire Cheesecake, enjoying its rich layers of flavor!
