No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients

Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

• You can find the recipe here. Its so easy to make, only requires 5 ingredients! Alternatively you can buy store bought salted caramel sauce.

9oz / 250g Digestive Biscuits or Grahm Crackers

• Graham Crackers and Digestive Biscuits are very similar, just use whichever you can get your hands on.

1 Stick / 113g Butter

• The butter is used to hold the biscuit base together. It will be melted so you don’t need to worry about it being at room temperature.

1⅔ Cup / 400ml Cream

• Heavy or Whipping Cream needs to be used here. Make sure it’s about 35% fat or it’s the cream you would usually used to make whipped cream.

9oz / 250g Cream Cheese

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so it can be combined easily with the other ingredients. Make sure you’re not using light or spreadable cream cheese as these will not work in a cheesecake. I recommend Philadelphia Cheese for this recipe as it always gives me the best results but you can use your preferred brand. 

⅓ Cup / 40g Powdered Sugar

• The sugar just gives a little more sweetness to the cheesecake. Powdered sugar, icing sugar and confectioners sugar are all the same ingredient just different names depending on where you live in the world.

Flaky Sea Salt for decorating

• This is optional but it really does finish off the cheesecake!

How to Make No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake

Cheesecake Base

If you’re using Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce follow this recipe first. Make sure your caramel sauce is at room temperature before starting the cheesecake recipe.

Using a food processor or a heavy object like a rolling pin, crush the biscuits into crumbs.

Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and pour over the biscuit crumbs. Using a wooden spoon or spatula mix the two ingredients together until combined. It should look like wet sand.

Pour the biscuit base into a lined 8″ or 20cm cake pan. Using the back of a spoon press the mixture down into an even layer. Place the cheesecake base into the fridge to set while making the filling.

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Filling

Pour the cream into a clean medium sized bowl and using a hand mixer or whisk whip the cream until soft peaks form. Try not to over whip here as the cream will be whipped more as it is mixed with the remaining ingredients.

In a seperate bowl add the room temperature cream cheese and sugar. Using the hand mixer or whisk mix the ingredients together until light and creamy and combined.

Measure out the Salted Caramel Sauce and pour it into the mixing bowl with the cream cheese mixture along with the whipped cream.

Mix the ingredients together until fully combined. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cheesecake base, use an offset spatula to smooth out the top. Place it into the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.

Salted Caramel Topping

When the Cheesecake has set remove it from the fridge and pour over 1/3 Cup of the Salted Caramel Sauce. Use a spatula to smooth it out over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Keep the Cheesecake in the fridge until you are ready to serve it, this also helps it slice more cleanly. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days or you can freeze slices in airtight containers, just remove them from the freezer 30 minutes before eating.

Common Questions about this No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe

What is the difference between Baked and No Bake Cheesecake?

Baked Cheesecakes usually contain eggs which help to set the cheesecake when it’s baked in the oven. No Bake Cheesecakes are either set by gelatine or time in the fridge. Many people refuse to except No Bake Cheesecakes as proper Cheesecakes but Wikipedia states they may be baked or set. It’s all about personal preference! I usually go for no bake cheesecakes but heres a recipe for my absolute favorite cheesecake ever!

Why is my No Bake Cheesecake not firm?

There are a couple things that may be the cause here. First, make sure your cheesecake has had at least 6-8 hours in the fridge to set. As soon as you remove it from the fridge it will start to soften so don’t leave it out at room temperature for long periods of time. Next, make sure you have used a block cream cheese like Philadelphia as spreadable will not firm up.

How do I store this No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake?

Store the cheesecake in the fridge for about 3-4 days. It can also be frozen, just let it come up to room temperature before serving.
