Easy Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Making Salted Caramel Cheesecake
I removed my Sara Lee Cheesecake from the tin, spooned over a simple caramel mousse then drizzled over the easiest homemade caramel sauce.
To top it off, I sprinkled on a little Maldon sea salt.
Oh my goodness! Are you drooling yet? Because I am just looking at these pictures again!
In each bite, you can taste the tartness of the cheesecake combined with the sweetness of caramel and a little crunch of salt flakes.
Keeping a Sara Lee dessert and Cool Whip Whipped Topping in your freezer is the perfect way to be prepared for easy entertaining or snacking at any time.
This is the perfect way to celebrate my mom. And since I can’t get it to her for Mother’s Day, I now have the perfect excuse to make it again.
