Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 12 sheets graham crackers
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake filling

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream very cold
  • 20 ounces 2 ½ 8oz bricks full fat cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 ½ bars 250g Caramilk chocolate
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Make the graham cracker crust: Pulse the graham crackers and melted butter in a food processor until the consistency resembles wet sand. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of a springform pan using the bottom of a glass or your hands. Place the crust in the refrigerator or freezer to set. 
  • Make the cheesecake filling: While the crust sets, pour ¼ cup of heavy cream and the Caramilk chocolate bars (broken into squares or chopped) into a small heatproof bowl that is set over a saucepan of boiling water for indirect heating. Whisk until melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Whip the remaining cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer to whip it to stiff peaks. Place the bowl of whipped cream in the refrigerator.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese in a standing mixer or with a hand held mixer to break up large chunks. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract and mix until blended and smooth. Add the melted chocolate and beat until well combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture by hand just until combined. 
  • Transfer the cheesecake filling mixture into the chilled crust. Pour the caramel sauce over and use a toothpick or butter knife to swirl it through the cheesecake filling. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to serve, garnish cheesecake slices with additional caramel sauce and shaved caramilk chocolate if desired.

Notes

    For everyone in the US, you can purchase Caramilk Bars from The British Food Depot online store. If you are unable to find them, you can substitute with 7 ounces of white chocolate bars or white chocolate chips and ¼ cup of caramel sauce in step #2 of the instructions.
  • Colder the Heavy Cream the better: You want your heavy whipping cream to be very cold before you start whipping. This makes that fat in the cream emulsify faster and stay whipped longer.
  • Cold mixing bowl: For an even faster whipping and creamier texture, refrigerate your mixing bowl before pouring the cream into it.
  • Refrigerate overnight for best results: For the ultimate cheesecake texture and flavor, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. This extended chilling time allows the flavors to meld, and the filling to set perfectly.
  • Minimum chill time: If you're short on time, chill the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours. While overnight is best, this shorter time frame will still give you a delicious cheesecake. It might be softer than the fully set version.
  • Room temperature cream cheese: Allow your cream cheese to come to room temperature before starting. This makes it easier to blend into a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Go for high-quality cream cheese and vanilla extract. The better the ingredients, the better the flavor of your cheesecake.
  • Hot Knife: For the perfect clean slices, wipe your knife clean and dip it into hot water between cutting each slice.
