How to prepare Salted Caramel Cheesecake

To prepare the salted caramel cheesecake, melt the butter over very low heat and let it cool. Then pour the cookies into the mixer 1 and blend them until completely crumbled. Transfer them to a bowl and pour in the cooled melted butter 3

Mix well 4 until the ingredients are combined. Line a 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper at the base and sides and pour part of the cookie mixture inside 5. Using the back of a spoon, gently press to form the base 6.

Then use the remaining cookie mixture to make the edge, always gently pressing with the back of a spoon 7. Let it firm up in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Pour the egg and yolk into a bowl, add the sugar 8, and mix with a hand whisk. Gradually add the cream cheese 9, continuing to mix. 

You should obtain a smooth and creamy mixture 10. Add the cornstarch 11 and vanilla extract 12

Mix and finally add the cream 13. Mix once more, and the cream will be ready 14. Retrieve the base from the fridge and pour the cream into it 15

then use a spatula to level it well to spread it evenly 16 17. Bake in a preheated static oven at 320°F for 70 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the salted caramel: in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in the granulated sugar 18 and turn on the low heat. Meanwhile, heat the cream. 

When the sugar is almost melted, use a ladle to stir the caramel. You should obtain an amber color 19. At this point, turn off the heat and gradually add the hot cream 20 21, stirring quickly.  

Pour in the sea salt flakes 22, and finally add the cold butter 23 and mix everything together 24.  

With an immersion blender, blend the salted caramel 25, transfer it to a bowl 26, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge until use. In a saucepan, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil, turn on moderate heat, and add the cashews 27.

Toast them for a few minutes until they are well golden 28. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. After the cheesecake's baking time, take it out of the oven 29 and let it cool. Then, transfer it to a serving plate 30.

Pour the cold salted caramel over the surface 31 and level it with a spoon 32. Decorate by placing the cashews on the surface randomly 33. Let it cool for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving your salted caramel cheesecake.
