directions

  • First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Then grind cookies or wafers to make crumbs in a food processor. In case you don’t have a food processor, put the cookies or wafers in a plastic zip-lock bag and crush them with some heavy utensils.
  • You can also crush them by using a metal bowl also. Ensure that crumbs are fine and smooth, without any rough piece of cookies in them.
  • Now, add butter to the cookies crumb and give it a good mix. Use a plastic spatula for this purpose and make a smooth mixture.
  • After that, grease a 9″ baking or springform pan. Smoothen out the mixture in the pan using your hands.
  • Later, beat sugar and crème cheese in a bowl to get a creamy paste. Add flour and vanilla to it. Add eggs one by one and keep beating it.
  • Add in cream and beat it well. When smooth, pour this batter over the crumbs crust evenly.
  • Put the baking pan in the preheated oven, bake it for 12 minutes at 450 degrees, and lower the temperature to 200 degrees to around 30 to 35 minutes. Look for a wiggly texture in the center of the cake to ensure it is ready.
  • Now let the cake cool for ten minutes after removing from the oven. Put it in the refrigerator before topping for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • For the topping, put the chocolate chips in the oven for 30 seconds to melt. Give another try for ten more seconds if not, and melted properly.
  • Put the melted chocolate in a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, a sealed plastic bag will serve the purpose. Put the chocolate paste in the plastic bag and cut a corner a little. Design the top of your cake in any design of your choice.
  • Meanwhile, heat caramel and cream in a small saucepan make a smooth paste eep stirring it on medium-low flame. Let it cool for a while and use it to top the cake as you did with the chocolate topping.
