A rich and creamy baked salted caramel cheesecake with a buttery biscuit crust, topped with a luscious homemade salted caramel sauce. Perfect for special occasions or indulgent desserts.

Ingredients

  • 200g digestive biscuits
  • 90g unsalted butter, melted
  • 600g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 200g granulated sugar
  • 200g sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100g granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 45g unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 100ml heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (for caramel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, corn flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until just combined.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  8. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  9. To make the salted caramel, melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns amber. Add butter and stir until melted, then slowly add the cream and salt. Stir until smooth and let cool.
  10. Pour the cooled salted caramel over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid cracks.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually to prevent sinking.
  • Salted caramel can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
