Are you looking for a quick and tasty dessert? The sweet cheese and caramel cake is the perfect choice! This simple recipe combines the creamy texture of cheese with the sweetness of caramel, offering an unforgettable taste. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 500 g plain biscuits
- 50 g butter
- 50 ml milk
For the filling:
- 250 g sweet cheese (or cream cheese)
- 250 g caramel (preferably homemade)
- 100 g condensed milk
- 1 and a half packets of gelatin
- 100 g heavy cream
- 1 vanilla essence
For the caramel:
- 250 g sugar
- 50 g butter
- 20 ml milk
Step 1: Preparing the crust
Start by crushing the biscuits. You can do this by hand or using a food processor to achieve an even texture. Once you have crushed the biscuits, add the melted butter and milk. Mix well until you obtain a compact but moist mixture. The crust should be dense enough to support the filling.
Step 2: Forming the crust
Spread the biscuit mixture in a removable-bottom pan, pressing evenly to form a solid base. Make sure the edges are well defined. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
Step 3: Preparing the filling
In a large bowl, combine the sweet cheese with the caramel, condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla essence. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous and creamy mixture.
In another container, dissolve the gelatin according to the instructions on the package. Add the dissolved gelatin to the cheese mixture and mix quickly to incorporate it evenly.
Step 4: Assembling the cake
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the cheese filling over it, leveling the surface well. Put the cake back in the refrigerator to set for about 1-2 hours.
Step 5: Preparing the caramel
To make delicious caramel, melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden. Add the butter and milk, mixing well to obtain a smooth and creamy composition. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before pouring it over the set cake.
Step 6: Serving
Once the caramel has cooled, pour it evenly over the cheese cake. You can decorate with chopped nuts or chocolate flakes for a special touch. Cut the cake into servings and enjoy!
Practical tips:
- Make sure the biscuits are finely crushed for an even crust.
- You can use cocoa biscuits or digestive biscuits for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of caramel used.
- Substitute sweet cheese with ricotta for a fluffier texture.
This sweet cheese and caramel cake is perfect for any occasion, whether you serve it at a gathering with friends or at a festive meal. With a divine taste and creamy texture, it will surely become a favorite dessert!
