3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are fully coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, and then allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gradually whisk in the butterscotch syrup, followed by the eggs – one at a time – and the vanilla extract. Be sure to mix gently but thoroughly to create a rich and dreamy cheesecake filling that embodies the essence of your favorite Harry Potter dessert. Want another version?

Step 3: Fill and Bake

Now, carefully pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even finish. Bake in your preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Once done, turn off the oven and crack the oven door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually. This prevents cracking! Enjoying this? Why not try our other cheesecake variations!

Step 4: Chill and Serve

After cooling in the oven for about an hour, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel for an extra touch of magic. Now your Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake is ready to transport you to the wizarding world with every delicious bite!
