• Fianlly,pour in the ramekins and bake in the center of the oven for 15-20 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

• Turn off the oven and leave in oven for an hour.Then,cool on  wire rack completely.Cover and chill in refrigerator overnight preferably.
• In the mean time,prepare the salted caramel.In a heavy sauce pan,heat the corn syrup.
• Stir in sugar and cook over moderately high heat undisturbed until a deep amber color is formed.
• Turn off heat and carefully stir in butter with a long spoon(be careful as the mixture is very hot).The butter may split.
• Now,add the whipping cream as a thin stream stirring constantly until smooth.Add salt and mix well.
• Leave to cool and then pour over the cheesecakes to serve.

NOTES
 * If you don't like salted caramel,omit salt and prepare.But salt adds a nice flavor to the cheesecake.
* You can use any ramekin of your choice.Depending on the size,the number of ramekins may vary.
