Best Salted Caramel Cheesecake Squares Recipes

EASY SALTED CARAMEL CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• To make the caramel sauce, pour the sugar into an even layer in a large saucier pan.
• 2. 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.
• 3. 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. 4.
• 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. 5.
• 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. 6.
• Set about 1 1/2 cups of caramel sauce aside for topping. Add the flour to the remaining caramel and set that aside. 7.
