About Caramel cheesecake
Caramel cheesecake is a rich dessert originating from European and American cuisines, blending creamy cheese filling with a sweet caramel topping. Typically made with cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and butter, the crust often consists of crushed graham crackers. While indulgent, caramel cheesecake is high in calories and fats, derived from dairy and sweeteners. A standard serving (100g) provides approximately 350 calories, 22g of fat (including saturated fats), and 25g of sugars. It also contains small amounts of protein and vitamins like calcium from the dairy, contributing to bone health. However, due to its sugar content, it is best consumed in moderation as a treat rather than a dietary staple.
Health Benefits
- Calcium from cream cheese aids in bone strength and dental health.
- Protein in eggs supports muscle repair and growth.
- Vitamin A from dairy improves immune function and vision.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store caramel cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.
