Tips:
You can bake these in individual muffin pans. This recipe will make approximately 30 individual cakes. Place cupcake liners in muffins pans. Place approximately 1 tbsp (15mL) crust in each one. Press the crust down firmly. Spoon 1 tsp (5mL) caramel flavoured sauce over crust before putting on cheesecake batter. Fill with cheesecake batter. Bake 18-20 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. Drizzle with additional caramel flavoured sauce before serving.
