I always get compliments when I whip up this rich little cheesecake. With layers of caramel, chocolate and vanilla, it's an instant classic. —Erin Byrd, Springfield, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 10 wafers)
  • 4 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons beaten large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
  • 3 tablespoons hot caramel ice cream topping

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine wafer crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom and 1/2 in. up the side of a greased 4-in. springform pan.
  2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Spread half the mixture into crust. Stir fudge topping into remaining batter; gently spread over cream cheese layer. Place pan on a baking sheet.
