Mini Salted Caramel Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Bites Recipe

I like cheesecake, but it is so rich that I can only take three bites and  I’m done.  So I love the idea of these mini Salted Caramel Cheesecakes!  They are just the right size for a few bites, a perfect snack or light dessert without overdoing it!   And the salted caramel combination adds that little extra flavorful edge making this dessert so delicious!

It takes less than a teaspoon of kosher salt to bring out the sweetness of the caramel in these scrumptious cheesecake minis.  These creamy cheesecakes in mini form can help you to balance out your food choices throughout the day so you can enjoy a taste of cheesecake in one of these portion-controlled desserts. They are quick to make and can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before drizzling with caramel sauce and sprinkling with remaining salt (or nuts).  Refrigerate 1 hour as directed.
