Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies Are Amazing. The Perfect Combination Of Cheesecake And Blondie With A Drizzle Of Caramel And A Sprinkle Of Salt!

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies are a match made in heaven and the result of a major sweet craving I was having this week.  I love salted caramel anything.  I’m pretty much addicted to Salt & Straw’s Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbon Ice Cream.  I get it every time!  No matter what.  If you are ever in Portland, you must visit Salt & Straw and try it!  Just be sure and call me so I can join you.

I do  like my sweets with a bit of salt.  Speaking of salted ice cream, have you tried McCormick’s Sea Salt Cream & Cookies.  So it doesn’t have the caramel but the salted vanilla ice cream is amazing!!

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies

Enough about ice cream, I got a little sidetracked but I get pretty excited talking about ice cream.  But today I’m here to talk about these Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies because they are pretty amazing too.

I actually prefer a blondie over a brownie. Call me crazy.  And when you combine it with a layer of cheesecake and caramel it’s hard to resist.

Salted Caramel Cheesecake Blondies

You want to use a good quality caramel sauce.  I use the Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel.  I always have a jar on hand.  You also want a good quality salt to use on top.  I love Jacobson’s Salt, the fact that is made here in Oregon, right out of Nehalem Bay, doesn’t hurt.  They have an amazing selection of salts and I have loved every one I’ve used.  For the blondies I used their Flake Finishing Sea Salt.  I also love to sprinkle it on my steaks before I grill them and just about everything!

The only downside to this recipe is it only makes an 8 x 8  pan.  You are not going to want to share!

Salted Caramel Cheese Cake Blondies

A couple of tricks I used:

  • Line the 8 x 8 glass pan with parchment paper.  It makes it much easier to remove the bars.
  • Be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature.  If I forget to take it out to soften, I put it in the microwave on the defrost setting for 30 seconds, rotate it and do 30 more sections or so to soften it up.
  • Use a large flake salt (not the small stuff that goes in your salt shaker).  Jacobsons Flake Finishing Sea Salt is my favorite. You are going to find yourself putting it on everything.
  • Chill the bars before cutting, it will make for an easier, cleaner cut.  If you have any leftovers keep them in the fridge.

    These look delicious! Have you ever baked these in a metal baking pan? I am wondering I’d it would work because I like the straight edges of my metal pan. Please let me know. Thanks!

    These look amazing. My question, though, is that in description you say you need an 8×8 pan but below you say 9×9. Which one is it ?
