Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)

How to Make Caramel Crumble Cheesecake

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in the flour until just incorporated. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the brown sugar, rolled oats, chopped pecans (if using), ground cinnamon, and remaining melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  6. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.
  7. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
  8. Before serving, drizzle with additional caramel sauce and slice into generous pieces. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to prevent sudden temperature changes that can lead to cracks.
  • For a cleaner slice, use a hot knife to cut through the cheesecake.

Easy Variations

  • Replace the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust for a chocolatey twist.
  • Add a layer of chocolate ganache under the crumble topping for extra decadence.
  • Experiment with different nuts in the crumble, such as walnuts or almonds, for varied flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh berries or a berry compote for a fruity contrast.
  • A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
  • Coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and serve cold or at room temperature.
