Method
Prepare the Base
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking dish to form an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add sour cream, sugar, eggs, chai spice blend, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
Chill and Serve
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and cut into squares.
- Enjoy your Caramel Chai Cheesecake Squares!

Notes
For best flavor, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight. You can also add a sprinkle of additional chai spices on top for garnish.
