About Caramel Sauces To Use
Here is my Best Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce you can make before or after you make the cheesecake. To make this recipe even easier, you can also use a ready-made salted caramel sauce or if you’re not a fan of salted, just caramel sauce. The thicker the caramel sauce, the better in my opinion.
Here’s also a list if you’re on the cusp of trying to figure out which caramel sauce to use if you’re not wanting to make homemade. Trader Joe’s, Williams Sonoma, Mrs. Richardson’s and Coops are among the thickest caramel sauces and there are also ways to thicken caramel sauces, depending how thick you want your caramel sauce.
Everyone is different, you may want to go for Hershey’s or Ghirardelli, easily available. Regardless, whatever caramel sauce you use, it will be good, but if you’re wanting to make a defining line of caramel on the top of your cheesecake, you may want to go with the thick! For this recipe, I used Hershey’s and I chilled it before adding it and it was fine and I’m fine with drizzles. 🙂
Caramel sauces will thicken up as it’s refrigerated, so you can add it to your cheesecake whenever you like. I added some after I made my cheesecake and then added more when I served it, with some sea salt on top! Can’t wait for you to try this!
