# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are fully coated.
02 -
Firmly press crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, forming an even layer.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sour cream and blend until fully incorporated.
04 -
Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar while mixing, ensuring a uniform consistency.
05 -
Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to achieve a cohesive batter.
06 -
Blend in vanilla extract and butter flavoring until smooth and creamy.
07 -
Stir in butterscotch sauce, cream soda, and butterscotch chips, folding until well combined.
08 -
Pour cream cheese filling over prepared crust in springform pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
09 -
Place the pan on the middle rack of preheated oven. Position a separate pan filled with water on the rack below to create steam. Bake for 60 minutes, or until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when moved.
10 -
Once baking is complete, turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly open for 1 hour to allow gradual cooling.
11 -
Remove cheesecake from oven. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
12 -
Top cheesecake with whipped topping before serving. Pipe swirls around edge and fill center mound with remaining whipped topping, then drizzle with additional butterscotch sauce.
