Making your No-Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9×9 inch baking pan.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

3. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the baking pan. Smooth it out evenly using a spatula.

4. Chill the Bars: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm.

5. Prepare the Salted Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden color. Be careful not to burn it.

6. Incorporate Butter & Cream: Once the sugar is melted, add the butter and stir until melted. Carefully pour in the heavy cream and stir until fully combined. Remove it from heat and stir in the sea salt.

7. Serve the Bars: Once the cheesecake has set and the caramel is cooled, pour the salted caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer. Cut the bars into squares and serve chilled.
