Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers (crushed)
  • 100g unsalted butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 400g cream cheese (softened)
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200ml double cream or heavy cream (whipped to soft peaks)

Millionaire’s Caramel Layer

  • 395g sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 100g brown sugar

Chocolate Topping

  • 150g dark chocolate

Optional Variations

  • Toasted pecans or walnuts (for sprinkling on caramel)
  • Pinch of sea salt (for salted caramel)
  • Fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries (for fruit topping)
  • Milk or white chocolate (alternative topping)
  • Plant-based cream cheese and cream (for dairy-free version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it into the crumbs until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form an even, compact layer, then chill in the fridge to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Whip the double cream separately until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light yet creamy. Pour the filling evenly over the chilled base and smooth the top with a spatula.
  3. Prepare the Millionaire’s Caramel Layer: In a saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar over low heat, stirring constantly until a thick, golden caramel forms. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before pouring it carefully and evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  4. Add the Chocolate Topping: Melt the dark chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread with a spatula to create a shiny, even surface. Chill the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours or preferably overnight to set completely.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice using a hot, clean knife for neat pieces. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for a smoother filling and crust.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when serving.
  • Cook the caramel on low heat and stir continuously to avoid burning or graininess.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
  • Warm the knife under hot water and wipe clean between slices for neat cuts.
