Instructions

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 allow to cool.

Base;

Line a 20cm round spring form pan (8" pan) with baking paper or non stick paper and set aside.
Crush the pretzels and digestive biscuits and melt the butter. Mix together.
Press into the base of your prepared pan. Spread ⅓-1/2 cup of the salted caramel sauce over the base and place in the fridge to set while you make the filling.

Cheesecake Filling;

In a bowl with a hand beater or stand mixer, lightly whip the cream until soft peaks.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add in the vanilla extract, icing sugar, whipped cream and ⅓ cup of the salted caramel sauce and beat into the cream cheese until smooth and thick.
Pour over the salted caramel sauce and pretzel base and place in the fridge until set. Around four hours but preferably 8 hours or overnight.
Once set or just before you are about to serve, drizzle with the remaining salted caramel sauce and top with crushed pretzels or however you like to decorate!
