Recipe Introduction


Gently tap through the brittle toffee topping to get to the rich reward beneath.





List of Ingredients



• 1 3/4 cups finely crushed graham crackers (about 25 squares)
  
• 1 (7-1/2 oz) pkg almond brickle pieces, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
  
• 3 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
  
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  
• 2 T flour
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1/4 cup milk
  






Instructions



1. For crust, in a mixing bowl combine graham crackers and 1/3 cup of the chopped brickle pieces. Stir in melted butter. Press onto bottom and 2" up sides of an 8" or 9" springform pan.
   
2. In a medium mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, and flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs all at once, beating on low just until combined. Stir in the milk and 2/3 cup brickle pieces. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Place on a shallow baking pan in oven.
   
3. Bake in a 375 degree oven until center appears nearly set when shaken, allowing 45 to 50 minutes for the 8" pan or 35 to 40 minutes for the 9" pan. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen sides. Cool 30 minutes more. Remove sides; cool completely. Cover and chill 4 hours or until serving time.
   
4. Before serving, place the cheesecake on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining brickle pieces (about 1/2 cup). Broil 4" to 5" from heat for 1 to 3 minutes or until pieces begin to melt and form a crust. Transfer to a serving plate. Slice to serve.
