Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon butter flavoring
- 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 8 oz. tub of cool whip
- 1/4 cup cream soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add in the sour cream and continue beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar while beating, ensuring it’s fully incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully mixed into the cream cheese mixture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and butter flavoring, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add butterscotch sauce, cream soda, and butterscotch chips, and stir until well blended.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
- Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure it’s even.
- Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven, with a pan of water placed on the rack below, and bake for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Top with cool whip when you are ready to serve.
