2. Ingredients for Butterbeer Cheesecake

200g graham crackers or digestive biscuits
100g unsalted butter, melted
600g cream cheese, softened
150g caster sugar
200ml sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100ml butterscotch sauce
100ml caramel sauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Whipped cream and additional butterscotch drizzle for topping

3. Step-by-step Instructions for Magical Cheesecake

Preparing the Crust

Start by crushing the graham crackers or digestive biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to create a sturdy crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

Making the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Gently fold in the butterscotch and caramel sauces to incorporate their sweet, magical flavors throughout the cheesecake.

Baking the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for an hour to prevent cracks. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Adding Magical Toppings

Before serving, top the cheesecake with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of additional butterscotch sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. For a more authentic Harry Potter vibe, incorporate edible glitter or small wizard-themed decorations.

4. Storage Tips for Enchanting Freshness

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, wrap the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving again to enjoy its full magic.
