5️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 40–50 minutes, until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
6️⃣ Chill & Finish
Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
Before serving, drizzle remaining caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
