Toffee Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
:
2-1/2
packages (6.70 ounces each) Girl Scout Toffee-tastic™, divided
1/4
cup butter, melted
4
packages (8 ounces each) full-fat cream cheese, softened
1
cup sugar
1/4
cup cornstarch
2
large eggs
3/4
cup heavy whipping cream
1
tablespoon vanilla extract
1

Caramel

How
To Make :
Preheat
oven to 350°. Crush 2 boxes of cookies in a food processor or blender. Add
melted butter; press onto bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a
15x10-in. rimmed pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile,
beat cream cheese until creamy. Combine sugar and cornstarch; on low speed,
gradually beat into cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time,
blending well after each addition. Beat in whipping cream and vanilla just
until combined (do not overbeat).
Chop
remaining cookies into bite-size pieces. Fold cookie pieces and 1/2 cup toffee
bits into cream cheese mixture. Pour over cooled crust; return springform to
rimmed pan.
Bake
cheesecake until edges are light golden and center is almost set, about 60-70
minutes. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining toffee chips.
Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight,
covering when completely cooled.
Remove
rim from pan. If desired, top cheesecake with caramel or chocolate topping.
