A luscious cheesecake with a toffee twist, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the crust inside for even baking.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter for a cohesive crust.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer.
Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust firmly.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Lowering the temperature ensures the cheesecake bakes evenly.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Adding eggs gradually helps maintain a smooth batter.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Vanilla enhances the flavor of the cheesecake.
Pour half of the filling over the crust, then sprinkle with toffee bits.
Spread the filling evenly to ensure consistent layers.
Top with the remaining filling and smooth the surface.
Tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
Bake the cheesecake for 55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cheesecake creamy.
Mix the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
Ensure the topping is smooth for an even layer.
Spread the topping over the cheesecake and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
The topping should just set without browning.
Cool the cheesecake on a rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges.
Running a knife around the edges prevents cracking as the cheesecake cools.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight.
Overnight chilling allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Remove the springform pan sides, transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter, and garnish with additional toffee bits.
Garnish just before serving for the freshest presentation.
