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!
