• Bake for 30-40 minutes until the cream cheese mixture is set. (insert a toothpick into the center to test for doneness)

• Remove from oven and let cool.

• Drizzle on the caramel topping.

• (These are ready to eat right out of the oven, but I prefer to refrigerate them for 3 hours to give the cream cheese layer a chance to set. I think it tastes much better cold.)
