Ingredients
Method
Preparation of crust and filling
- Crush the Digestive biscuits and mix with the melted butter until they resemble tiny crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a silicone mold.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, egg, fresh cream, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and velvety, then pour into the mold, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Baking the cheesecakes
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Bake the cheesecakes for about 50 minutes, watching for a lovely amber color on the surface.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecakes cool inside for about an hour.
Preparing salted caramel
- Melt the sugar in a saucepan until it turns golden. Stir in the butter, then add the cream and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth.
- Set the salted caramel aside to cool.
Finishing touches
- Once the cheesecakes are cooled, drizzle the salted caramel over them and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to serve, gently remove the cheesecakes from their molds and top with whipped cream.
Notes
Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the oven for a flawless texture. Don't skip the salted caramel—it's essential. For added flair, sprinkle sea salt on top before serving. Variations include adding a swirl of chocolate or a dash of vanilla extract.
