4 | Add the Caramel Topping
- Warm the salted caramel sauce in the microwave for about 20–30 seconds until pourable (not hot).
- Pour over the cheesecake layer and spread evenly with the back of a spoon or offset spatula.
5 | Chill and Decorate
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
- Just before serving, decorate with fudge chunks around the edges and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt over the top if desired.
6 | Slice and Serve
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the set cheesecake from the tin.
- Cut into clean bars using a warm, sharp knife. Wipe between slices for the neatest presentation.
📌 Tips
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture and best structure.
- Let the caramel topping cool slightly before pouring to prevent it from melting the filling.
- Bars are best stored chilled in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
