Instructions for Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake:
- Melt the caramel chocolates in a double boiler, allowing the mixture to cool slightly. In a blender, crush the butter cookies, add melted butter, and mix well. Press the cookie mixture into a lined springform pan, molding it with your fingers. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for a few minutes until the crust turns golden brown.
- Transfer the cream cheese to a bowl, add sugar and vanilla sugar, and begin mixing. Incorporate the potato starch, heavy cream, and eggs. To the melted chocolate, add caramel sauce and a few tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture, mix thoroughly, and then add to the cheesecake batter. Mix everything for a few minutes.
- Pour the batter onto the cookie crust in the springform pan and bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. Allow the cheesecake to sit in the oven for a few extra minutes after baking to prevent it from collapsing. Once the cheesecake has cooled, drizzle caramel sauce on top.
Enjoy your delicious cheesecake!
