Winter cheesecake with caramel
According to a recipe from 1837
I present you a cheesecake which is a real pleasure for the senses. Not only does the cheesecake itself contains raisins, cinnamon, grounded nutmeg and almonds, which makes it perfect for winter time but also it is coated with salty caramel and sprinkled with roasted pecan nuts. Do we need anything else?:) I invite you for the best winter cheesecake with ‘’salty caramel’’coating.
Technical issue: I have used round mould, 24cm in diameter
Salty caramel
Ingredients
- Pinch of himalayan, sea or typical salt
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1⁄4 cups of cream 30 prcnt
- 1⁄4 cups of sugar
Preparation
- Put sugar onto the frying pan. It should cover the whole frying pan.
- Start heating it up. Don’t stir! Wait for sugar to melt
- When sugar turns brown, add water. In this moment the sugar may start to gush, so be careful. Using wooden spatula, stir until the lump melts completely. Add cream, stiring continuously, and cook for 4-5 minutes- it should obtain lightbrown color.
- Next, add butter and a pinch of salt. I used himalayan salt, but you can use also sea or typical salt. Caramel should obtain caramel color :) Pour it into a glass to cool down.

Wait for 15 minutes and then take out the cake from the oven. It should cool down for at least 3 hours. Next, put it into the fridge to obtain suitable consistency. After 6 hours, coat it with cool caramel sauce. It is a good idea to prepare the cheesecake in the evening and put it into the fridge for the whole night.
