Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup butterscotch chips melted for swirling
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream used to thin the butterscotch
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for topping

Notes

For the best results, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not add the sea salt until right before serving to prevent it from dissolving into the moisture of the cake.
