Bacon Caramel Cheesecake
Bacon Caramel Cheesecake is the dessert for you if you love and adore both sweet and salty together. h, what a combination it is! Just divine. This cheesecake is baked on a crispy oreo crust and then topped with loads of ganache and caramel sauce! You can make homemade caramel sauce using my fabulous recipe or you can use the sundae topping kind! I then gave it a sprinkle of coarse sea salt and then…..drum roll please….crispy chopped bacon! I placed it around the edges so it was somewhat subtle but you could also sprinkle it all over the top. I recommend adding the bacon as close to serving time as you can so the crispness will hold up!
