Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
For the cheesecake filling:

3 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
For the salted caramel sauce:

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp sea salt

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the salted caramel sauce.
In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat to high and let the mixture come to a boil. Continue boiling without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.
Add the unsalted butter and sea salt, stirring until smooth and well combined.
Allow the salted caramel sauce to cool slightly.
Once the cheesecake is done baking and has cooled for about 10 minutes, carefully pour the warm salted caramel sauce over the top, spreading it evenly.
Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and serve the delectable Salted Caramel Cheesecake.
