Salted caramel cheesecake
This salted caramel cheesecake is sensational – it’s no bake too!
A homemade salted caramel cheesecake is an amazing centre piece on anyone’s dessert table.
Indulgent, decadent and outrageously tasty, this is a total crowd pleaser – you will become a legend!
Is this cheesecake difficult to make?
No, it’s not difficult.
But as in life, all good things come to he or she who waits.
You’ll need to chill the salted caramel cheesecake in the fridge overnight.
Why do you do that? It’s simply to make sure that it’s not runny. Runny cheesecakes aren’t good.
You could reduce the time and make the base early in the morning and leave it for six to eight hours but why would you want to risk it? This needs to be perfect!
Apart from that, yes it’s a pretty easy desert to make!
How come I don’t have to bake this cheesecake?
You don’t have to bake this cheesecake because there are no eggs in this recipe.
Baked cheesecakes are normally a whole lot denser than their lighter fluffier no-bake cheesecake cousin.
Another great no-bake cheesecake is our Oreo cheesecake.
Do I have to use a springform tin to make this salted caramel cheesecake?
No you don’t, we did but you don’t have to.
The most important thing is to have a deep enough tin and with a removable flat base.
How do I make this cheesecake from scratch?

Salted caramel cheesecake
Utensils
Ingredients
Biscuit base
- ⅔ cup Unsalted butter
- 10 oz Digestive biscuits/Graham crackers
- 3.5 oz Salted pretzels
Cheesecake filling
- 2 oz Full fat cream cheese
- 3.5 oz Icing sugar
- 1½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 2½ tsp Maldon sea salt flakes
- 5 oz Caramel
- 1¼ cups Double cream
Topping
- 5 oz Caramel
- Pretzels
- Salted caramel popcorn
Instructions
Biscuit base
- You need to start with the base so it has time to set
- Take the pretzels and biscuits, put them in the blender and blitz them
- Melt the butter and then mix with the biscuit blend
- Now you need to place the mixture into the tin, spread it out evenly and then press it down quite firmly, put it in the fridge and leave to set
Filling
- While the base is setting, make the filling
- Whisk together the icing sugar, vanilla and cream cheese until it's lovely and smooth
- Then put in the caramel and whisk it again, you need it to be smooth with no lumps
- Next to go in is the double cream and the salt flakes, keep mixing for as long as it takes for it to be able to hold itself just like a meringue does, make sure it's mixed well or it won't set but not too quickly as you don't want it to split
- When it's ready spread it evenly on the biscuit base, even the top and make it nice and smooth and then put it in the fridge to set overnight
Topping
- Remove from the tin and place on a serving plate
- You can pretty much top the cheesecake in any style you like
- We piped on caramel and placed our salted caramel popcorn over
