Butterscotch Cheesecake with Brown Sugar Meringue: A Decadent Dessert Delight

Serving: Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor. This cheesecake is delicious on its own, but you can also add a drizzle of butterscotch sauce or a few chocolate shavings for extra decadence.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you need to store the meringue topping, it’s best to cover it loosely to avoid condensation, which can soften the meringue.
Variants:

Chocolate Butterscotch Cheesecake: Add a layer of melted chocolate to the cheesecake filling for a rich chocolate-butterscotch flavor combination.
Nutty Crust: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the graham cracker crust for a crunchy, nutty addition that complements the creamy cheesecake.
Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and substitute coconut cream for the heavy cream to create a dairy-free version of this decadent dessert.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
A: Yes! This cheesecake is perfect for making ahead. Just ensure it has plenty of time to chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Q: How can I prevent the cheesecake from cracking?
A: To prevent cracks, avoid overbaking the cheesecake. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you take it out of the oven. Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven with the door cracked to prevent sudden temperature changes.

Q: What if I don’t have a kitchen torch?
A: If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can place the cheesecake under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, but be sure to watch closely to prevent the meringue from burning.
