Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake. Slice and enjoy!
