Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce
For the Topping:
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
How to Make Them
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang so you can lift the bars out easily later.
Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the texture feels like wet sand.
Press firmly into the bottom of your pan.
Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
Cheesecake Filling Time
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour half the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Drizzle with ½ cup of salted caramel sauce, then top with the remaining cheesecake batter. Swirl gently with a knife if you like a marbled look!
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the cleanest slices.
Toppings & Garnish
Once chilled, drizzle with the remaining 1 cup of salted caramel and sprinkle with sea salt flakes for that irresistible sweet-salty crunch!
