How To Make ~ walnut caramel cheesecake ~

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Have a prepared graham cracker crust ready or use a store bought ad I did. Next, add caramels and milk to a small saucepan and over low heat, stir until melted. ( can also do this in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.) - Home made caramel can be used as well. Spread caramel into bottom of crust. Sprinkle nuts over caramel. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until creamy and well blended.
  • Step 3
    Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over caramel layer. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until set. Cool on rack for 15 minutes.
  • Step 4
    In small pan melt the 10 caramels with milk over low heat or melt in microwave. Drizzle top of cheesecake with caramel and sprinkle with nuts. Add a dollop of whipped cream as serving if desired. Keep leftovers refrigerated.
