AUNT RUTH'S FAMOUS BUTTERSCOTCH CHEESECAKE



Aunt Ruth's Famous Butterscotch Cheesecake image

Aunt Ruth was our nanny when I was little and made this cheesecake often. Since it had to chill overnight, it was torture when my sister and I had to wait until the next day to have a piece. When I visited my old neighborhood and stopped by her house, she offered me a piece of that wonderful cheesecake. I made sure to leave with a copy of the recipe! -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Time 13h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

aluminum foil
nonstick cooking spray
1 (8.8 ounce) package speculoos cookies (such as Lotus Biscoff®)
¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk, divided
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
¾ cup butterscotch chips
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
¼ cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wrap the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil; lightly grease pan with cooking spray.
  • Crush cookies finely. Stir together cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until completely combined. Press mixture on the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of the prepared pan.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, flour, and salt with a stand mixer at low speed, using the paddle attachment, until combined and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition, about 30 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat just until incorporated, about 15 seconds.
  • Add 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup butterscotch chips to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and cook whisking constantly until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat. Whisk together remaining 1/2 cup of milk and pudding mix in a small bowl until completely incorporated and smooth. Whisk pudding mixture into melted butterscotch mixture and whisk until smooth (mixture will begin to thicken).
  • Slowly add pudding mixture to cream cheese mixture, beating at low speed, and mix until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour filling into prepared crust. Tap pan 2 or 3 times on counter to release air bubbles.
  • Place cheesecake in a large roasting pan and place in preheated oven. Pour hot water to a depth of halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Center will be jiggly. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in oven with door closed for 30 minutes. Open oven door slightly and leave cheesecake in for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove cheesecake to a wire rack and cool completely, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Run a sharp knife around edges and remove sides of springform pan. Place on serving tray.
  • Stir together 3/4 cup butterscotch chips and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl for the topping. Cook at Medium (50%) power for 1 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Spread topping over top of cheesecake allowing some to drip down sides. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Chill for 20 minutes or until topping is set. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Categories     dessert

Time 11h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs (from about 40 whole cookies)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Three 11.5-ounce containers whipped cream cheese
1 1/4 cups sugar
One 16-ounce container sour cream, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs, at room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
6 ounces butterscotch chips
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Toss together the cookie crumbs, butter, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and put in a large roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and beat until just combined. Add the heavy cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, 1 at time. Mix in the vanilla by hand until just combined. (Take care not to overmix, or the cheesecake will turn into a souffle!).
  • Put the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 2 separate small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Ladle 2 cups of cheesecake batter into a medium bowl and 2 cups into a second medium bowl. Fold the melted butterscotch into one of the bowls until completely combined. Fold the melted chocolate into the other bowl until completely combined. Leave the remaining batter white.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop scoopfuls of the batter onto the crust, alternating between the different flavors until all the batter is gone. Use a long wooden skewer and drag it through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches down to the bottom of the pan to marble the colors for a tie-dye effect. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.
  • Bake until the outside of the cake is set, but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan one more time, unmold the cheesecake and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand. Smooth the edges of the cake with a knife just before serving.

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

Crust
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup almonds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Filling
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Scotch whisky
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups sour cream
Butterscotch Topping
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Scotch whisky
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup very coarsely chopped toasted almonds (about 3 1/2 ounces)
Sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 3-inch-high sides with foil. Butter and flour foil. Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until nuts are finely chopped. Add butter, yolk and extract and blend until mixture begins to gather together. Press onto bottom (not sides) of prepared pan. Bake until golden about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack. Cool 10 minutes. Release cake pan sides from crust. Gently turn out crust onto rack; peel off foil and cool. Place crust back into pan and reattach pan sides. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For Filling:
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, 1 1/4 cups sugar, Scotch and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until combined. Pour into crust-lined pan. Bake cheesecake until set at edges but center 3-inch area still moves slightly when pan is shaken, about 50 minutes. Place on rack; cool 10 minutes.
  • Mix sour cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Spoon sour cream mixture over cheesecake. Bake 10 minutes. Transfer cheesecake to rack and cool 10 minutes. Run small sharp knife around top edge of pan to loosen cake. Chill overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
  • For Topping
  • Stir sugar and 2/3 cup Scotch in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns golden, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with pastry brush dipped into water and swirling pan. Add 2/3 cup cream and butter (mixture will bubble) and stir until smooth. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon Scotch. Let stand until cool but still pourable, about 2 hours. Mix in 1/2 cup almonds.
  • Spoon all but 1/2 cup butterscotch topping over cheesecake (reserve remainder for another use). Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chopped almonds. Refrigerate up to 1 hour.
  • Run sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Release pan sides. Spoon cream into pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe cream over top edge of cake.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cheesecake, use a food processor to blend the cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help prevent lumps.
  • Use a springform pan to bake the cheesecake. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan once it's done baking.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake set properly.

Conclusion:

This salted butterscotch cheesecake is a delicious and indulgent dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheesecake filling, salted butterscotch topping, and graham cracker crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
