Recipe: White Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake

Boy, have I been waiting to make this cheesecake. It has featured on the top of my bookmarks bar for plenty months now- even though i really like it so, I don't often make cheesecake, however I idea that it might be suitable to make for national Cheesecake Day

I discover that the caramel isn't too tough to make, however if you don't fancy it, you can top the cheesecake with save-sold caramel, or one from another recipe. I considered the use of a unique recipe, however the buttery richness of this one works so nicely. I also found that, in spite of my expectancies of it firming up upon cooling, this caramel remained clean and fluid and failed to clearly require reheating inside the microwave oven.
