Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  6. Pour the creamy mixture over the crust and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Baking
  1. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the center is set but still has a slight jiggle.
Cooling
  1. Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. For an elevated experience, add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel drizzle.
