Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce

Topping

  • Remaining salted caramel sauce for drizzling
  • Sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner to create an even crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until the batter is velvety and lump-free.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips and Caramel: Gently fold in the chocolate chips along with half of the salted caramel sauce, ensuring even distribution throughout the cheesecake filling.
  4. Fill and Bake: Spoon the cheesecake batter into each cupcake liner filling them approximately 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. The cheesecakes should appear set around the edges but remain slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecakes cool inside for 10 minutes to prevent cracking. Remove them and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set and chill before serving.
  6. Serve: Before serving, drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce over each cheesecake and sprinkle lightly with sea salt to enhance the flavors and add a beautiful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly to maintain a creamy texture once chilled.
  • Use high-quality salted caramel sauce for the best flavor impact.
  • Store cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a firmer texture, chill overnight before serving.
