- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and 0.5 cup of the salted caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
- Before serving, drizzle the remaining 0.25 cup of salted caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in your cheesecake filling.
