Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g graham cracker crumbs
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted
- 250 g cream cheese, softened
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 120 ml caramel sauce
- 1 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust. Place the tray in the fridge while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually mix in the heavy cream until the filling is smooth and well blended.
Remove the muffin tin from the fridge and pour the filling evenly over the crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly. Do not overbake.
Let the tarts cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spoon about 2 teaspoons of caramel sauce onto the top of each tart and spread it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel for a sweet-and-salty finish.
Refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours to set before serving. Enjoy your creamy and indulgent caramel cheese tarts!
