About

For this cheesecake I decided to indulge a bit and thought of a sort of cookie cheesecake almost. I added a little brown sugar onto the crust which gave a slight sweet crunch to it, and before baking I added some chocolate chips and some graham cracker crumbs as well as a little more brown sugar to the top. To complete it, just before enjoying it I added a little caramel sauce and had it with some hot chocolate.
