Mini Salted Caramel Cheesecakes

0000

Did I ever tell you how much I love caramel? Especially salted caramel! The mixture of salty and sweet is so yummy. I found this mini salted caramel cheesecake recipe in Cooking Light, and just had to try it. As you already know, I am obsessed with mini desserts. It makes the cutest little cheesecakes, which are topped with a gooey caramel sauce and chunks of sea salt. It is really delicious! I think these are perfect for a gathering, especially to take to someone’s house because they are easily transported. A perfect “finger food” dessert
