caramel:
19 ounces cream cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
crust:
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush your slivered almonds. In a mixing bowl whisk together the almond flour, almonds, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the butter and combine with a spoon. Line a muffin tin with liners. Push the almond mixture into the bottom of the liners. Bake for 10 minutes to set. Turn oven down to 300°. In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, vanilla, sugar and eggs. Beat until light and fluffy. Spoon mixture into the muffin tins with prepared almond crust. Bake for 40 minutes. While cakes are cooking, start on the caramel. Combine granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until sugar dissolves, stirring gently for 3 minutes. Stop stirring and continue cooking 10 minutes or until the color of light brown sugar. Remove from heat; carefully stir in butter and milk. Place pan over medium-high heat until caramelized sugar melts. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; cool caramel to room temperature. Cover and chill 1 hour or until slightly thickened. Take cheesecakes out of the oven when they are done. Once cool, the middle will slightly fall and this is the perfect indent for the caramel. Spoon about 1 tablespoon caramel over each cheesecake.

Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Bites image

Also known in my house as "OMG"!!! These are soooo tasty! They take some time and effort, though, so you should only do these if you have a little bit of time on your hands. Very much worth it! NOTE: If you don't want to dip them in chocolate, still melt the chocolate, using less of it, and drizzle across the top of the...

CRUST
1 3/4 c oreos, finely crushed (i used my blender) - about 14 cookies (or 1 sleeve of a large package) equals this measure
1/4 c butter, melted
FILLING
20 caramels, unwrapped
2 Tbsp milk
1/3 c finely chopped pecans
1 8 oz pakage cream cheese, softened
1/3 c sugar

  • 2. Combine crust ingredients in small bowl. Press evenly onto bottom of prepared pan.
  • 3. Combine caramels and milk in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Pour over crust in pan, leaving a little space so as not to touch the pan with the caramel (I found where it touches the pan, the caramel seems to get a little harder than I like). Sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate while preparing cream cheese mixture.
  • 4. Combine cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, beating just until combined. Stir in sour cream. Pour over caramel mixture.
  • 5. Bake for 35 - 40 lminutes or until just set (edges will come away from pan). Cool on wire cooling rack for about 1 hour. Loosely cover; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  • 9. Let chocolate set up, about 20 minutes. (I placed the cookie sheet in the fridge to help this process along).
  • 10. Store in refrigerator.
