Ingredients
  

COOKIE BASE

  • 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs**
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 3/4 cup powdered icing sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons milk

TOPPING

  • Caramel sauce to taste
  • 1 cup broken chocolate caramel bars
  • Note: I prefer using digestive cookies for the base but savoiardi (ladyfingers) and graham cracker crumbs are great alternatives!

Instructions
 

  • Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a 7–8 inch (17–20 cm) springform pan. If using a regular cake pan, line it with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
  • In a small pot, add the 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it sit for a minute, then heat over low heat, stirring until fully dissolved and smooth. Do not boil. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Stir a couple of tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the gelatin mixture to combine, then gently fold it into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  • Carefully fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Gently mix in the toffee bits.
  • Remove the chilled cookie base from the fridge and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over it, smoothing the top with a spatula or knife. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4–5 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with broken Skor bars. Enjoy!

Notes

Fast and Easy Caramel Sauce
  1. Purchase a can of sweetened condensed milk and keep it sealed.
  2. Place the unopened can in a large pot, ensuring it is fully submerged with at least 2–3 inches of water covering it.
  3. Bring the water to a medium-high simmer, maintaining at least 2 inches of water above the can at all times.
  4. Let it simmer for 3 hours.
  5. Carefully remove the can from the pot and allow it to cool completely for at least 8 hours or overnight. Do not open while hot to avoid any risk of explosion.
  6. Once cooled, open and enjoy!
Stored in the fridge, it can last up to two weeks—though mine never lasts that long!
