I’ve been in the mood lately for a decadent dessert. I think it’s the beginning of the Fall season when I start to crave something a little more over-the-top, something to make for the holidays and all the events in between.
There is no doubt this Butterscotch Overload Cheesecake with Shortbread Crust satisfies all those needs. You are literally going to melt when you take your first bite. In fact, I would think this recipe will grace your family’s table for a long time to come. It’s that good. Best part is, it’s a really creamy cheesecake, which makes it taste light, even though true decadence is involved here.
I promise everyone will swoon over this dessert with every bite.

Cathy says
Aw too bad.
Amy @Very Culinary says
Walker’s makes the best shortbread! I haven’t seen those doggies, though – so cute! Also? Butterscotch is so underused. LOVE this amazing dessert.
Cathy says
Be on the lookout!
Karly says
Love that you used Walker’s for the crust! They make the best shortbread and this cheesecake looks like the perfect pairing!

Those cookies are ADORABLE! Love them on the top of the cake.

Yep, they are show-stoppers for sure.

I cannot get over how darling those little scottie dogs are!!! We’ve been fans of Walker’s for years and years. I will definitely have to try using them in a crust. Butterscotch is perfect with shortbread. Looks so fabulous, Cathy!
Cathy says
Shortbread crust is the bomb!!
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
Craving this now! So incredibly delicious!

Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says
Super sweet! Love this cheesecake. And our girls would LOVE a cheesecake with Scottie dogs!!
Cathy says
Yes, my boys loved the idea. Said I should make it for our dog’s Birthday LOL.
Nutmeg Nanny says
Love this cheesecake! The addition of shortbread is perfect.
Cathy says
It really does make a yummy crust.
Marly says
You know, a westie is just a scottie dog, minus the color. That’s my expert opinion on that. And I have a westie so I prefer to think of this as a pumpkin cheesecake with cute, little westie cookies. Now I love it even more!
Cathy says
He-he.
DessertForTwo says
It’s just that I don’t think this is overload. I think it’s the perfect amount of butterscotch 😉
Cathy says
Well, I would agree.
Kristen says
What a moment of kismet that you just happened to post this on it’s special holiday!
Loving those cutie pie scottie dogs… I need cookies shaped like my mutt 🙂
Cathy says
Yeah I would love some shortbread Lab cookies, chocolate flavor of course!!
Amanda @ Cookie Named Desire says
Yum, this sounds delicious! Cheesecake is my favorite and Walkers happens to be my favorite shortbread brand.
Des @ Life's Ambrosia says
That is one gorgeous cheesecake lady! I could eat it all year round, not just fall 🙂
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
This sure is decadent! Oh my gosh. Shortbread? Butterscotch??? I’m dying.

What adorable little dogs! And, c’mon, butterscotch?? — YES!
