BEST SALTED CARAMEL CHEESECAKE

This Salted Caramel Cheesecake is the best you’ll ever have! The caramel sauce is my favorite and it isn’t simply drizzled on top, but it’s actually layered inside the cheesecake as well! It’s smooth, creamy and delicious! Caramel cheesecake perfection!

This cheesecake is truly a combination of two of my very favorite things – caramel and cheesecake. And when it comes to caramel cheesecake, I didn’t want to settle. A simple cheesecake with some caramel drizzled on top just wasn’t enough. I want ALL the caramel in my caramel cheesecake. Sweet, salty, buttery caramel should be the main flavor, not simply the topping.

INGREDIENTS
CARAMEL SAUCE

• 2 1/2 cups (518g) sugar
• 10 tbsp (140g) salted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, room temperature
• 6 tbsp (49g) all purpose flour, sifted

CRUST

• 2 cups (268g) graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
• 3 tbsp brown sugar

FILLING

• 24 oz (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup (144g) light brown sugar
• 3 tbsp (24g) all purpose flour
• 1 cup (230g) sour cream
• 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• Toffee bits

INSTRUCTIONS

• To make the caramel sauce, pour the sugar into an even layer in a large saucepan.
• Heat on medium-high heat, whisking the sugar until melted. The sugar will clump up first, but will eventually completely melt. This should take about 10 minutes.
• Once the sugar has melted, stop whisking and allow to cook until the sugar has turned to a little darker amber color. You may notice a nutty aroma. The change in color will happen quickly, so don’t let it go too long or get too dark or it’ll burn. Remove the caramel from the heat.
• Add the butter and whisk until combined. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit, but keep whisking until all the butter has melted and combined.
• Slowly pour the heavy cream into the caramel and whisk until incorporated. I find it can help to add just a bit at a time until the caramel starts to thin out, then you can add the rest. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth.
