This is the KitchenAid Stand Mixer I use. This KitchenAid heavy duty mixer is reliable, durable and efficient.

If you buy a KitchenAid stand mixer it's likely it will last you for life. Mine has so far!

This is the deep round cake tin with loose base that I use in the making of this cheesecake and many of my other cheesecakes too.

It's easy to push the base up slowly keeping the shape of the cheesecake with this cake tin. When you're removing it prior to serving.

💭 FAQ's

Can I Use Low Fat Ingredients In This Caramel Cheesecake?

Yes you can. Many of my other cheesecake recipes often use low fat ingredients. But the cheesecake takes longer to set. So for ease and to save time I'm using full fat ingredients here.

Do I Need A Stand Mixer To Make This Cheesecake?

No. A stand mixer would take the effort out of making this cheesecake but you can make it in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.

What's the best way to store this cheesecake?

Store your cheesecake in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes. I find it’s best to cut the cheescake up into individual slices and keep them in individual airtight containers.

    Caramel, cheesecake and no-bake! It just doesn't get any better than that. What a perfect summertime dessert especially since you don't have to turn on the oven. Looks delicious. Will definitely have to try this. Thanks so much Neil for sharing.

      I'm sorry I was too lazy to make my own caramel sauce, which I have done in the past Michelle. I might include it in a future update of the recipe but I'm glad you like the recipe. Thanks!

    I usually prefer a traditional (Baked) cheesecake because it has a different texture. But oh boy - this no baked version looks terrific too. It's so smooth, silky, and irresistibly delicious!

      I do love a baked cheesecake Ben. Particularly a New York Baked Cheesecake. But I'm often just too busy and too lazy to bake them. That's why I so often go for a no-bake one! 🙂

    That caramel drizzle on top of this no-bake cheesecake looks amazing, Neil! I do love caramel in desserts, and no bake is the way to go for a hot summer day. I'm thinking I could get on board with a slice of this cheesecake one of these evenings. Thanks so much for sharing!

      Ah sorry to hear you don't like cheesecake Sherry! Still you get plenty of fresh fruits there in Australia I'm sure there's plenty of other choices for delicious desserts!

    Why cannot we decorate with the topping straight away??? I have made a bigger portion as i had a larger tin, so fingers crossed for tomorrow 🙂

    Reply

    • Neil

      Agnes, I find the cheesecake needs to set properly before I decorate it. I remove it from the tin and then decorate it as it's then much fresher. The caramel sauce is better when served fresh (I find). I'm sure the recipe will be fine tomorrow. But I can only gaurantee it if you follow my instructions exactly and the cheesecake tin size I recommend, as that's what I made it in. 🙂
