Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your ingredients and grease your 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until just combined.
- Pour half the batter over the cooled crust. Drizzle caramel sauce over this layer, followed by remaining batter and another drizzle of caramel.
- Gently swirl the caramel into the batter using a knife or skewer.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in cheesecake. Chill well for best flavor and texture.
