This Mini Salted Caramel Cheesecake is soft, creamy, delicious and addicting! This is perfect for Thanksgiving and a real treat for salted caramel lovers!

I like cheesecake, but I can only take three bites and  I’m done. I wanted to try to make a salted caramel cheesecake because I have become obsessed with salted caramel, in fact every day for two weeks, I stopped by Starbucks and bought myself a Salted Caramel Frap.   Anyway, I made my own caramel sauce recipe which I used to make this cheesecake which you can find here.

I have made cheesecake many times in a regular sized pan and it turned out great, however making mini cheesecake was a bit of a challenge.  Some of the few challenges were cracking in the middle of the cheesecake, cheesecake sinking in the middle, and the cheesecake falling apart.

I actually wanted to give up, but I told myself it’s worth it!  I realized my first mistake was leaving it in the oven too long, apparently MINI cheesecakes only bake only for 15-20 minutes and that is why it was cracking and sinking in the middle.  The cheesecake falling apart only happened because I didn’t wait for an hour for it to solidify.  I also made a water bath, so that probably helped.  In the end, after many attempts of making the Mini Salted Caramel Cheesecake, the first bite was totally worth it!

I partnered with my friends from YouTube Hani, Cobi, Barbara, and Sav to make a Thanksgiving Dinner.  So if you don’t have a menu for Thanksgiving here are some healthy, but delicious food for you and your family!

  • 1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed

Notes

Cream cheese needs to be at room temperature before adding it to the mix because it will form little clumps which makes the batter clumpy.

      Hi Danielle, this recipe was made specifically for mini cheesecake pans, if you don’t have any you can use muffin pans.

          Hi Corina,
          Great question, this cheesecake batter makes 12 mini cheesecakes. I have not tried making it with a cupcake pan, but it should be the same.

    The recipe doesn’t call for salt but the name of the recipe says “Salted Caramel” and the photos show salt on top. Am I missing something?

      Hi Kay,
      The salt is sprinkled on top of the cheese cake. The salt I used was sea salt. Thanks for catching that! 🙂

    Hi!
    Could I just make this without the egg and not bake the batter and let them sit for an hour in the fridge?

    when mixing the gram crackers and butter, the crushed crackers are still very loose. Is this normal? They don’t have a solid like consistency to them. When they bake, will the bottom fall apart or should i add more butter until i get a forming consistency?

      Hi there! Great question, feel free to add more butter to get it more crustlike. But it should be fine when you bake it. 🙂
