Day 5 of 7 Days, 7 Cheesecake Recipes — Caramel Popcorn Cheesecake
Creamy caramel cheesecake finished with the most fun topping imaginable.
This cheesecake is proof that desserts should be playful. Silky caramel cheesecake, buttery caramel sauce, and crunchy popcorn create the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty. It's impossible not to smile when you see a slice of this.
What makes this work
The homemade caramel gets folded into the filling and drizzled on top, creating layers of caramel flavour throughout. The popcorn adds texture and turns a classic cheesecake into something memorable.
A few things before you start
Allow the caramel to cool before adding it to the filling. Warm caramel can affect the cheesecake texture and make the filling too loose.
