Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham crackers crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar powdered
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt optional

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined pan. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat until thick, fluffy, and well combined.
  3. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top using a spatula to create an even layer.
  4. Pour caramel sauce over the filling and spread gently. Sprinkle sea salt if desired.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully firm.
  6. Lift out using parchment paper. Cut into equal bars using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between slices for neat edges.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor
  • Chill overnight for cleaner slices
  • Do not skip lining the pan for easy removal
  • Use thick caramel sauce so it stays on top
  • Let bars sit for a few minutes before serving for best texture
