Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

Topping

  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers with the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly among 12 serving cups lined with paper liners and firmly press it down to form an even crust layer. Place cups in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the crust.
  2. Make the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup caramel sauce, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until fully combined. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain and the filling is light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the cups: Spoon the prepared filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the cups. Smooth the tops gently with a spoon or spatula. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
  4. Add toppings and serve: Just before serving, drizzle each cheesecake cup with the remaining 1/4 cup of caramel sauce. Sprinkle the tops lightly with flaky sea salt to enhance the salted caramel flavor and add a gourmet touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use digestive biscuits or graham crackers based on your preference; both work well for the crust.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Whip the heavy cream cold for better volume and texture when folding into the filling.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set properly.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the crust mixture.
