Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (330 ml) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) raisins
  • 2 pkgs (8 oz/250 each) Canadian Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp (100 mL) Break-Free or
  • 2 eggs

Method

  • Mix together crumbs and melted butter. Press into 12 muffin tins lined with giant paper liners. Alternatively, use 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan or 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Bake in 350 °F (180 °C) oven for 10 minutes; set aside.
  • In saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; bring to a boil. Stir in raisins. Spoon equal amounts into each prepared crust.
  • In large bowl using electric mixer, beat together Canadian Cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until very smooth. Add eggs, one at a time; beating just until smooth. Spoon equal amounts over filling in each crust.
  • Bake in 350 °F (180 °C) oven for 20 minutes or until almost set. (For springform pan or pie plate, bake for 35 minutes.) Let cool completely on rack; refrigerate until chilled through. Serve drizzled with butterscotch sauce.
