Hi! Last week of the year, and I’m still posting about the sweet stuff. Rest assured, I’ll maybe return to sharing some healthier, lightened up meals in the new year.
For right now though, I just couldn’t wait to share this with you!
Creamy, dreamy Caramel Toffee #Cheesecake - a #delicious and #easy #dessert #recipe #homemadeClick To TweetIt’s well documented that I love a good cheesecake. A new member of the family also has a particular fondness for it (as well as all toffee desserts, so for our Christmas Day celebration, I knew I would have an appreciative audience for this (spoiler alert: I was right!) and ALSO: today is his birthday – so, happy birthday Greg!
This is the 4th time I’ve made this baked caramel cheesecake recipe, tweaking things differently each time – and this time, THIS time – I got it absolutely the way I wanted it.
It’s creamy. It’s dreamy. It has melted bits of toffee in the filling. Crunchy toffee bits on the top. Then you add the homemade vanilla whipped cream, and drizzle it with caramel sauce.
It’s kind of perfect, and you should probably plan to make this immediately. I mean, I’m just saying – you won’t regret it.
You’re so welcome, in advance…
Want more cheesecake? Of course you do!

This looks like something straight from the Cheesecake Factory
Susie says
Made this for a Christmas family dinner dessert. Was fantastic! Serve at near room temp improves flavor
Liz says
Oh, my. This is one dreamy cheesecake!! I’m a sucker when it comes to any dessert with toffee or caramel…and this has both!
Jessica says
Are you using unsalted butter? I don’t see salt in the recipe, so I’m not sure.
Kylee says
Jessica – I use salted butter in everything!
Byron Thomas says
Ok, girl, where do you live? If there’s any of that cheesecake left, you had better put aside a big slice for me. 🙂 You know I have no reservations about jumping in my car and driving across the border. LOL. Seriously though, that cheesecake looks divine!
Pam says
I love cheesecake, and I love toffee. So, this is pretty much the best dessert ever! I can’t wait to try it out.
Kathy says
What a great recipe. Not only caramel and cheesecake seem to be a match made in heaven but I absolutely love the different textures, creamy, silky and with some crunchy bits on the top ~ perfection. Oh and that gorgeous photo….. I want to dive right into my screen!
Veena Azmanov says
That cheesecake looks scrumptious..!! I love that drizzled caramel! Yum.. I gotta try this.. Thanks
Molly Kumar says
Hello Gorgeous Cheesecake !!! It looks fabulous and those pictures make me even more hungry. I’m ready with my fork 🙂
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way says
That recipe looks amazing. It would be in big trouble at our house — some desserts are just too good to leave alone. If you have some left I have the fork all ready. Don’ bother with a plate i’ll bring my own — I’ll just take a few forkfuls
Julie | Bunsen Burner Bakery says
Beautiful! I’m not a big cheesecake fan but I love to make them (and my husband’s family loves to eat them). I love the toffee to give a little bit of crunch to the silky smoothness of the cheesecake.
Stephanie@ApplesforCJ says
Dreamy and Creamy…I mean what’s not to love. I know a certain member of my family that would love it if I’d make them this scrumptious looking cheesecake 🙂
Noel Lizotte says
Who doesn’t love cheesecake? At my house, we’re all totally in love with cheesecakes! Any type, Any time! I’m a toffee fan, so will be giving this recipe a test run.
Christine McMichael says
Oh, yum! Love toffee and caramel. My husband LOVES cheesecake, so I need to make this one for him!
Jennifer A Stewart says
This cheesecake if off the chain!! I could eat my weight in toffe bits or whole candy bars like Skor so this cheesecake would get destroyed in my house. By me!
Adriana Lopez Martn says
I am a cheesecake lover and this is perfect I need a slice now seriously I am hungry! Those pics are mouthwatering.
Amanda says
This goes to the top of my “make this quick” list! You have hit on two of my weaknesses…toffee and cheesecake. I can imagine how creamy and delicious this tastes!
Olivia @ Olivia's Cuisine says
Heavenly! I kinda wanna lick the caramel out of that plate… Is that allowed? Also, the cheesecake does look ultra creamy. Damn you girl, now I need to go find me some cheesecake. ???
Heather says
Ohhhhhh.. talk about a must make recipe!! Creamy cheesecake and toffee? Yes please! Great easy to do recipe and toffee is always a winner 🙂
Hanady @ Recipe Nomad says
Thank you! This looks so delicious! You had me at toffee! Toffee makes everything amazing doesn’t it!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
The cheese cake just looks marvelous and can’t believe it is baked at home. I am very scared to bake a cheese cake and looking at your ingredients and the recipe I feel a little brave to give it a try. The toffee pieces are my favorite as I love toffee. I always have a secret stack of Werther’s toffee for me to munch on.
Sharon says
This looks scrumptious!! I make cheesecakes also but stumble a bit when it comes to adding flavors or fruits. This seems pretty easy but one question if I may…This may sound odd but I’m not sure what you mean by “cream” in the servings section. Sour cream? Liquid coffee cream? Just plain cream sold in a dairy section of store? My son would love this for his birthday next week so any help is so very appreciated!! Thank you very much!!
Kylee says
Hi, Sharon! Cream refers to heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. We’re using it to make whipped cream for the top.
Sharon says
Thank you Kylee!! Especially for answering so quickly!! I just looked at the other cheesecakes you have on your site and WOW!! they all look so so delicious. After the toffee caramel one I will be trying them all!! I may come back with questions if you don’t mind. As I said I’ve been making cheesecakes for years and they’re loved by everyone but I really want to start playing with fruits, flavors, just additives you know? I did join your blog so I’m looking forward to finding some other goodies too! Thank you again very much!!! I’ll let you know how it turns out! Fingers crossed!!!
Sharon says
Hi Kylee (again) Sorry but I’m making the cake now and noticed no sugar in the batter? If you happen to see this please please let me know. Otherwise I’ll go with maybe the toffee is in place of sugar? Thanks so much once more!!
Kylee says
Hi Sharon – no sugar, there’s plenty in the condensed milk 😉
Sharon says
I made it Kylee and it was gone in a matter of minutes!!! Thank you for such a delicious recipe…I never would have thought to do something like this! My son loved it (snuck a piece away for later) and everyone raved!! And it was plenty sweet….they devoured this! Definitely will be making this again and very soon! Thank you for all your help. Can’t wait to try the berry pies and all the rest! Keep them coming Please!!!
Cathy says
Hello! I love making cheesecakes and it has become a tradition that I make a different one every year. Anyways I’m making this one for Thanksgiving and I’m used to cooking cheesecakes in a water bath, did you do that with this one? Would you recommend it? Thanks for the recipe and your feedback!
Kylee says
Hi Cathy – this one is actually not made in a water bath. I have a few that I DO make with a water bath (the banana cream pie cheesecake is one), but this one didn’t need it. Mine doesn’t, but if yours cracks, just cover it with sauce and cream 😉
jeremy steele says
This was an amazing cheesecake.
Sam says
Hello! This looks amazing! I need help just a tad confused.(I don’t want to mess anything up) I was reading through the comments and seen someone mention no sugar and I seen you say no sugar need because of the sweetened condensed milk but when I was writing a list of what I need I seen in the list of ingredients for the cheesecake (not the topping) it says 1/3 cup sugar. So just wondering if I need the 1/3 cup or not. Please help!?
Kylee says
Hi there Sam
The 1/3 cup of sugar is what goes into the base. I’ll edit the recipe to make that clearer!!
Sam says
Thank you!!
