Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, crushed salted pretzels, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until well blended. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
