Salted Caramel Cheesecake

If some is good, more is better, right? While we include a healthy portion of salted caramel on our cheesecakes, we know there are caramel lovers out there who always want more. If you find yourself desiring an extra dose, check out the recipe below for a homemade salted caramel sauce!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp (90g) unsalted butter, room temp and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup (110ml) heavy cream, room temp
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp fine sea salt

Directions
1). Very important to make sure your butter and heavy cream are at room temperature
Measure all of your ingredients in advance and set them aside.
2). In a medium saucepan, melt down the sugar over medium heat. Whisk occasionally, as it will take about 5 minutes to see any changes in the sugar. As clumps start to form, whisk constantly until it’s completely melted down (this process takes about 15 minutes).
3). Once melted, it will be golden in color. Stop whisking and allow it to caramelize and darken. It will only take 1-2 minutes for it to turn a rich amber color. This happens quickly so keep a close eye on it.
4). Remove the pot from the burner and quickly whisk in the butter all at once. Whisk for about 30 seconds. If it doesn’t fully mix, that’s okay.
5). Quickly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to whisk until it’s smooth and fluid.
6). Lastly, whisk in the vanilla and sea salt.
7). Pour into a glass bowl or jar and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes. It will thicken as it cools

Once cooled, drizzle over your Salted Caramel Cheesecake and enjoy an extra salty sweet indulgence!
