Pour filling over crust. 4.Bake at 300°F 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until edge of cheesecake is set at least 2 inches from edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly. Turn oven off; open door 4 inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Run small metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Day 2 For Caramel Sauce: 5.In 2-quart saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat.

Whisk, then place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and whisk. Repeat in 30 seconds intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and you can incorporate it fully into the cream.
