Caramel Praline Topped Cheesecake Collage

Since I am sidelined with my broken foot I decided to go through my photo stash and “relive” some great moments. Of course cheesecake was the first category. I usually bake my cheesecakes as they aren’t as sticky as no bake. But any cheesecake can easily be converted. This combination is indescribably delicious so I won’t try. You just have to taste it! I think I may open a cream cheese business. What do you think? #caramel #cheesecake

    • Thank you Carla. I actually used to sell these locally for special occasions and parties. But it took the fun out of it as I couldn’t eat them! Glad to know I could sell them again. Have a great week!

    • Thanks Sandra. My husband is/was a cook and I am the baker so I am eating well. Since I can’t bake I am calling Papa Johns a lot for brownies, chocolate chip cookies and their new pull apart cinnamon rolls. 🙂

    • I fell on uneven pavement in the grocery parking lot. Very amusing story but long. My husband is using it as blackmail in case he needs it. ???? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for asking. Enjoy your week.
