Baked Caramel Cheesecake

Pin It Now!

This was bound to happen much sooner than now, seeing as I have this love affair with Caramel! And it was great...

I made a smallish cheesecake as this is very rich and only a small slice is enough to stop a sweet tooth's craving.

NESTLe {no, I am not getting paid to say this...} made my day when they brought out their Caramel and Chocolate line!

This time I remembered to keep a pen and paper handy to write down exactly what I did - I make so many recipes which turn out delicious... and when I want to share it with you, I can not remember half of what I used and the quantities, ... well, you know when you make something at a whim, the quantity of this or that needs adjusting all the time, and that is hard to remember what you ended up with.

And for you guys that need to boil a can of Condensed Milk to get the Caramel version - IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT with this recipe.

Baked Caramel Cheesecake

100g Digestive Biscuits, finely crumbed {I used the one with the chocolate on top}

3 TB Butter, melted

3/4 can (of a 397g) Caramel Condensed Milk

250g Cream Cheese, softened

2 TB Flour

6 TB Caster Sugar

1 t Caramel Concentrate or Essence

1 Extra-Large Egg

Handful of Caramel Toffees, roughly chopped

1.) Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) - Spray a 18cm (7 inch) oven pie dish with Spray 'N Cook.

2.) Mix the Digestive biscuits and the melted Butter - press into the bottom of the dish.

3.) Beat the Caramel Condensed Milk and the Cream Cheese together until smooth - add the Flour, Caster sugar, Caramel Concentrate and the Egg - beat until well combined.

4.) Stir in the chopped Caramel Toffees - transfer the mixture to the pie dish.

5.) Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until the edges browns and start to pull away from the dish's side {the center will still be a bit wobbly}

6.) When it reached this stage, switch off the oven, open the door slightly and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another 15 - 20 minutes.

7.) Remove from oven and let cool and set completely in the dish.

Decorate as you wish - I used the remaining Caramel Condensed Milk in the can and dusted lightly with Icing Sugar.

This one is worth the extra kilograms/pounds grams/ounces !  Promise...

Ciao for now,
