Ingredients
  

Spiced Graham Cracker Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp nutmeg
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Butterbeer Cheesecake Filling
  • 1 cup cream soda
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup butterscotch topping plus extra for drizzling
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Butterscotch Cream Topping
  • 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 tbsp butterscotch topping
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Muffin tin
  • Electric mixer
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and spices. Add melted butter and mix. Press 1.5-2 tbsp firmly into each liner. Refrigerate.
  2. Simmer 1 cup cream soda in a saucepan for 10-15 mins until reduced to 1/4 cup. Let cool completely.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add reduced cream soda, 1/2 cup butterscotch topping, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
  5. Divide filling evenly among the chilled crusts. Smooth the tops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before serving, make topping: Whip 3/4 cup cold cream with 2 tbsp butterscotch topping and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until medium peaks form.
  7. Pipe or dollop topping onto chilled cheesecakes. Drizzle with extra butterscotch sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. The reduced cream soda MUST be completely cool before using. Chilling overnight is best for texture.
