Servings: 12 Cheesecakes
Calories: 262kcal
Ingredients
Base;
- 1 and ½ Cups Digestive Biscuit Crumbs, Or Graham Crackers
- 50 g Butter, Melted (¼ Cup)
Cheesecake;
- 325 g Cream Cheese, at room temperature
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Cup Icing Sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Cream
Salted Caramel;
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar
- 50 g Butter, Melted (¼ Cup)
- 3 Tbsp. Milk
- ½ - 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix the melted butter and cookie crumbs together and press some of the mixture into each cupcake case.
- Place in the fridge while you make your salted caramel sauce.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan on a medium to high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the milk and bring to the boil.
- Boil for at least 2 minutes before removing from the heat.
- Add the salt and set aside to cool while you make your cheesecake mixture.
- Beat the cream cheese until it is smooth.
- Add the egg, vanilla essence, icing sugar and cream and beat for at least two minutes until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Place a dollop of the cheese mixture onto the biscuit base. I start off with a dessert spoon full for each.
- Spoon around one and a half teaspoons of salted caramel onto the top of each cheesecake.
- Using a skewer lightly swirl the salted caramel into the cheesecake until you have a nice ripple effect.
- Place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The sides should be set and the center will have a very slight wobble.
- Allow them to come to room temperature before placing in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Peel the cheesecakes out of the cupcake cases before serving.
Notes
You can omit the cupcake cases, just ensure you grease your muffin tray really well.
Only swirl your skewer a few times. Through trial and error, I found less is more.
