These are too tasty to have only one.

I LOVE cheesecake and love caramel. Therefore, we made caramel pecan cheesecake with what is literally the easiest recipe you could ever think of.

I enjoy making caramel pecan cheesecake because they are cute, easy to eat and very easy to make. Plus, it takes less time to have a cheesecake (or four) in front of me when I make them mini-sized.

I added cinnamon to the crust to make it more delicious as we love anything with cinnamon! I also used dolce de leche and it gave a great taste to my caramel pecan cheesecake. The cheesecake mixture itself is so easy and you can easily make half of the recipe and get 6 cheesecakes. And have them all yourself because that's the right thing to do!

To make the cheesecake mixture, you have to beat the cream cheese until it's smooth and then add the rest of the ingredients which are eggs, greek yogurt, vanilla and sugar. That's all! Then bake it for 20 minutes and let it cool completely then top it with caramel sauce and pecans. then enjoy the creamy velvety texture as the caramel sauce drips from the edges of this luscious mini cheesecake!
