Directions:Preheat oven to 325º F. In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Cover the outside of the pan with aluminum foil to make it waterproof and keep butter from dripping. In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until soft and smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the crushed toffee chocolate bars and pour into prepared springform pan. Place the cheesecake pan into a large baking pan with at least 1-inch tall sides. Put into hot oven and fill larger pan with some water, to create a water bath and bake about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
When completely cool, decorate the top of cheesecake with reserved crushed toffee bar and then drizzle the melted chocolate in a decorative pattern. |
