Sprinkled with chewy honeycomb and crumbly shortbread biscuit, this baked white chocolate cheesecake recipe by Josh Eggleton is a slice of pure caramel-infused heaven. Unlike other similar incarnations, the filling and base for this recipe are first baked separately before the filling is then smothered over the base and finally re-set in the fridge to create its unique texture.
