Preheat your oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F). Line the base of a 20cm (8 inch) springform cake tin with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blitz the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Melt the light butter and combine it with the biscuit crumbs until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared cake tin to form the crust and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese and low-fat yogurt until smooth. Gradually add the caster sugar, blending well until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and cornstarch until fully combined, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust in the cake tin and smooth out the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggles in the center.
While the cheesecake is cooling, heat the low-fat caramel sauce slightly (if needed) and stir in the sea salt.
Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, remove it from the tin and transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
