Preparation

Step 1

Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F Butter 9 inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4 inch-high sides. Blend all ingredients in processor until moist. Press onto bottom and 2 inches up sides of pans.

Filling: Sprinkle 1 1/4 cups crushed toffee over bottom of crust. Beat cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Beat in sour cream. Beat in eggs 1 at a time.
Bake cakes until golden on top, cracked around edges and just set in center, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to racks; let cool 10 minutes (centers will fall).
Maintain oven temperature.

Meanwhile, prepare topping: Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Spoon over cakes. Bake until topping just sets, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate immediately. Chill uncovered overnight.

Cut around pan sides to loosen cakes. Release sides. Top with toffee.
