Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 6 hours 30 minutes (including chilling time)
Servings: 8
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 400g cream cheese, softened
- 200ml double cream
- 100g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g caramel sauce
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Start by preparing the base. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of a 20cm springform tin, ensuring an even layer. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the caster sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
- Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove it from the springform tin and transfer to a serving plate.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and garnish with caramel shards if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
For an extra touch of indulgence, you can mix some caramel sauce into the cream cheese filling before letting it set. If you don’t have digestive biscuits, graham crackers or any sturdy plain biscuit will work just fine as a base. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling, and always whip the double cream to just soft peaks — over-whipping can result in a grainy texture.
Storage Instructions
This cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep it covered to prevent it from absorbing any fridge odors and to maintain its freshness and texture. For longer storage, you can freeze the cheesecake (without the caramel topping) for up to a month. Thaw it in the fridge overnight and add the caramel sauce before serving.
Pairings
This salted caramel no-bake cheesecake pairs beautifully with a glass of dessert wine or a hot cup of coffee. For a complete treat, accompany it with fresh berries or a light citrus salad to balance the sweetness of the caramel.
