Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz (3 packages) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a springform pan with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until mixed well. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the filling over the crust evenly and tap on the counter to eliminate air bubbles. Bake for about 55-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
- Drizzle generously with salted caramel sauce before serving.
