Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butterscotch chips and butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth, ensuring the butterscotch doesn't burn. Remove from heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly moistened. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Set aside 2/3 cup of the graham cracker-butterscotch mixture. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating until well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker-butterscotch mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars. (120 minutes)

For a richer butterscotch flavor, use salted butter.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can pre-bake it for 8-10 minutes before adding the cheesecake filling.
Garnish with a drizzle of melted butterscotch or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch of elegance.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
