I am not even a big cheesecake lover & I found this to be delicious. The crust is awesome. Takes a little bit of time so maybe plan ahead to do part before going to bed & then finish it up the next day.

I slightly altered the recipe and found out that it would make two pies. The caramel gets really hard if it is melted in the microwave, so add milk to it to keep it from getting hard. Tastes great!!
