1/2 cup Salted Caramel Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mix the crushed Vanilla Wafer Cookies and melted butter in a bowl, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, beat the 16 oz of Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese together with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the springform pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is almost set. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
While the cheesecake chills, prepare the salted caramel sauce.
Once ready to serve the cheesecake, pour the cooled salted caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake to add a sweet and salty topping.
