More than delicious, this is verging on decadent, if it hasn't already gotten there! This was a WONDERFUL & most enjoyable cheesecake, as some of my neighbors can attest, since I shared it with them! Was hesitant about the sea salt, but added it anyway! Definitely a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag]

This recipe was actually between a 4 & 5 (5 for taste, 4 for directions). Not that it was Boomette's fault, she copied the recipe was written. We just had trouble with the caramel sauce. DD & I made this using 1 1/2 lbs cream cheese & 1/2 lb sour cream. We also topped with walnuts instead of pecans. The final result was a little too sweet for our liking but that can easily be remedied by using less caramel topping. Made for Newest Zaar Star
