Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe

 

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of crushed graham crackers (these are like little crunchy cookies)

- 1/4 cup of melted butter (this is what makes it yummy and hold together)

- 2 cups of cream cheese (this is the main part that makes it creamy)

- 1 cup of sugar (this makes it sweet)

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (this adds a nice flavor)

- 2 eggs (these help it to be fluffy)

- 1/2 cup of caramel sauce (this is the sweet, gooey topping)

- A pinch of salt (this makes the caramel taste even better)

Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

   - First, we need to make the bottom of our cheesecake. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter together. It should look like wet sand.

   - Now, take a round cake pan and press the mixture into the bottom. This is our crust! 

2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling:

   - In another big bowl, put the cream cheese and sugar. Use a mixer or a whisk to mix them until it’s smooth and creamy. 

   - Add the vanilla extract and mix again.

   - Now, crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time and mix until everything is well combined. 

3. Add the Caramel:

   - Pour half of the caramel sauce into the cheesecake mixture and stir it in. This will make it taste like caramel!

4. Pour and Bake:

   - Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the pan. 

   - Now, we need to bake it! Preheat the oven to 325°F (that's about 160°C). Bake the cheesecake for about 50 minutes. It should be set but still a little jiggly in the middle.

5. Cool and Top:

   - After baking, let it cool down for a bit, then put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can wait!). 

   - Before serving, drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on top and sprinkle a little pinch of salt over it. 

6. Slice and Enjoy:

   - Now, cut it into slices and enjoy your delicious salted caramel cheesecake!
