How to Make No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Now, let’s get to the Explosive part – assembling this Legendary cheesecake! It’s a breeze, I promise.
Step 1: Prep Work
Start by lining a springform pan with parchment paper and giving it a quick nonstick spray. This will ensure your Incredible cheesecake releases seamlessly. Next, grab a medium-sized bowl and beat the cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 2: Main Cooking Process
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese, then gently fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mmm, can you already smell the Tempting flavors?
Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly
Now for the Explosive salted caramel swirl! Simply heat the sweetened condensed milk and a pinch of salt in a saucepan until it thickens and turns a beautiful caramel color. Drizzle this Irresistible sauce over the cheesecake batter, then use a knife to gently swirl it throughout.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is Firm and chilled. When you’re ready to serve, run a knife around the edge and release the springform pan. Drizzle with more salted caramel, sprinkle with a few flakes of sea salt, and get ready for the Explosive reactions from your guests.
