  • Total Time: 7h 35m
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g oreo-style chocolate cookies, crushed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 900g cream cheese, softened
  • 300g granulated sugar
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butterbeer (room temp)
  • 1/3 cup butterscotch sauce, divided
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Edible silver dust (food-grade)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (for silver sugar dust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix crushed cookies with melted butter; press into pan bottom. Bake 10 min. Cool.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, eggs (one at a time), flour, and salt. Fold in 1/4 cup butterbeer.
  4. Spoon half batter into pan. Swirl in caramel, then remaining batter. Drizzle remaining butterbeer and butterscotch in a spiral pattern.
  5. Bake 60–65 min until center is slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let rest 1 hour.
  6. Chill 6+ hours (preferably overnight).
  7. Mix brown sugar with silver dust. Lightly dust top. Drizzle remaining butterscotch before serving.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temp before mixing.
  • Use full-strength butterbeer—homemade or bottled (e.g., The Wizards Barrel).
  • To make silver sugar: rub 1 tbsp fine sugar between palms with edible silver dust until evenly coated.
  • Dust before serving only—moisture can dull shimmer.
  • Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
