  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Crush the biscuits in a food processor, stir in the butter and press the mixture into the base of a 20cm spring-form tin. Bake for 10 minutes then cool. Turn the oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1.
  2. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar, flour and vanilla. Add the eggs, soured cream and chocolate and combine. Sprinkle the hard caramels over the biscuit base, pour the cheesecake mixture carefully on top and bake for 40-50 minutes, the filling should still have a slight wobble when it is cooked. Cool and then spread a layer of caramel on top.

    really easy and delicious. i made the dulce de leche myself (oven method) and was too inpatiient to wait for it to look like it does in the photo, but it was still so good. i didn't have hard caramels so i stuck any caramel sweets at the bottom. this sets quicker than other cheesecakes i've made, but next time i'm definitely making it the day before so it sets a bit more.

    My husband made this pudding for me and I thought it was absolutely delicious. Instead of putting caramels at the bottom he used fudge which was a great idea. I must say all though you would think that this pudding is rich with the caramel and fudge etc.. It actually isn't and even after having a big dinner it is easy to eat. A definate receipe to try.

    I baked this for 50min and left plenty of time for it to cool. However, when i took away the sides of the tin it started to collapse everywhere!! Luckily I was able to salvage a couple of scoops of topping and some biscuit base to serve up as dessert. I decided to make the best of an awkward situation and put all the mixture into a tupperware container, swirling the dulce topping into the cheesecake and froze it. Unbelieavable ice cream the next day! Would very much recommend it.

    This is a nice dessert for a special occasion or buffet for large numbers as it�s very sweet and the texture is dense so only a small slice is needed. I preferred it served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream than eating it on its own, as it helped to stop it from being so heavy and made it lighter and easier to eat, although doesn�t help with the calories! I used fudge pieces rather than hard caramels but can�t see what they added to the recipe-don�t think I�d bother to buy them next time.

    I made this without the caramel on top (felt it may be bit too sweet for my taste) and it was delicious!

    One of the easiest and tastiest cheesecakes i've ever made!! This is now by basic cheesecake recipe (minus the toffee) that i add too, you can use bananas with the toffee to make a banoffee cheesecake, or as i am trying this weekend for a birthday cake adding dime bars to the base and topping!!

    This has to be one of the best cheesecake recipes I've ever made. I think all the white chocolate and caramel is offset by using the sour cream; it's nice. I didn't have the hard caramels for covering the base before adding the filling, but it was sweet enough with white chocolate. I didn't have dulce de leche for the topping, so made Gordon Ramsay's caramel sauce (on this site), which does set like soft icing with refrigeration -- perfect! Absolutely loved it, and a definite favourite. The other thing I did was, use egg white instead of whole egg; this worked fine. My reason for this: I end up with a lot of egg whites over (which I freeze in silicone moulds) where I make a lot of ice cream which often requires just yolks! ...so I use these in baking where I can.

    Recipe was fairly easy. Left the cheesecake in the oven longer as it was too wobbly. Took ages to set in the fridge though, and I got impatient. The final product was really tasty though, and well worth the wait.

    This was my first attempt at a cheescake and it was devine! An 8" tin was a tad too small, so I made two smaller cheesecakes with the left overs. Delicious!

    My 11 year old daughter made this for a BBQ we had last night, it was eaten within minutes, everybody loved it. I think the tin size given in the recipe is inappropriate and we used a 9" tin instead, this baked in the time given.

    It was loved by all friends and family!! It was given 10 out of 10.....Def going to be making it again and sharing the recipe. We added Dime bars and put pieces on the top of the base and top of cake (i used short bread and found that i needed all the biscuits and more butter to use for a larger tin - very creamy in taste). I was a little unsure of how much the cake was meant to wobble and so i think i will put it in for a little longer next time so that only a small area in the middle wobbled. I also found that the dulce de leche was easy to find in the shops (near the condensed milk and used for banoffee pie!). I will use raspberries next time for the topping to break up the sweeetness.

    Undoubtedly the best cheesecake I have every made. As per suggestion above, I used Gordon's caramel recipe off this website and it tasted fantastic. Made it for a friend's dinner party and they all loved it. Will be making this again for Christmas as it can be made the day before.
