Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and wrap a 9-inch springform pan with foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar; press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until blended.
  5. Blend in sour cream, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of butterscotch sauce until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the crust, drizzle with butterscotch sauce, and swirl with a knife. Pour in the remaining filling and repeat.
  7. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and add hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  10. Top with whipped cream, drizzle with butterscotch sauce, and sprinkle with crushed cookies before serving.
