  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • Extra chocolate chips for topping
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Ingredient Substitutions:

Dairy-Free Option – Substitute dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate chips.
Nut-Free Option – Ensure all products are nut-free.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed Oreos and ¼ cup melted butter.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

💡 Pro Tip: For a thicker crust, add a few extra cookies to your mix.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  2. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate Chips

Gently fold 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

Step 5: Layer the Cheesecake

  1. Pour half of the batter over the crust.
  2. Drizzle ¼ cup caramel sauce evenly on top.
  3. Pour in the remaining batter and smooth it out.

Step 6: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open.

🚀 Avoid Cracks! Cooling it slowly helps prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 7: Garnish & Chill

  1. Once cooled, drizzle with extra caramel sauce.
  2. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and top with extra chocolate chips.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy!

Slice and serve this heavenly cheesecake with a cup of coffee or fresh berries.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Room-Temperature Ingredients – This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Don’t Overmix the Eggs – Overmixing can cause cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Let It Chill Overnight – The longer it chills, the better the flavor!
