Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts: I love it for not being too sweet and also for its smooth texture. The other thing I am crazy about is salted caramel, especially if I can eat it without any guilt. One of my greatest discoveries a few years back was that it is possible to make sugar-free caramel sauce, so I make some whenever I can. It is a little tricky because there must by a tiny bit of real sugar (or honey, as in this recipe) mixed into the sweetener otherwise it won’t caramelize, but 90% of it can still be made calorie-free.
Sweet cheese cream with salty caramel cups and all that in a low-fat sugar-free version is a winning combo indeed. It is incredibly delicious and it looks irresistible… to me. And also it takes only half an hour to prepare.
The cheesecake can also be decorated with fruits and seeds instead of the caramel sauce, only it isn’t worth it. You should really give it a try.
