Caramel Praline Topped Cheesecake
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 My Tip Friday, 6 Tips To A Perfect Cheesecake Experience will guide you to that perfect cheesecake outcome!

    • 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. 🙂
