Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • FILLING:
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cartons (8 ounces each) Mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon caramel ice cream topping

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place a greased 9-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18-in. square). Securely wrap foil around pan.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of prepared pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 3. For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cheeses, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Place springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. hot water to larger pan.
  • 4. Bake until center is just set and top appears dull, 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
  • 5. Refrigerate overnight. Remove side of pan. Garnish cheesecake with whipped topping; drizzle with caramel. Refrigerate leftovers.
