Naughty but nice – Kerrie’s double baked caramel cheesecake with Maltesers & M&M’s – KERRIE FITNESS
We can’t all be good 24/7… where would that fun be in that?! Sometimes occasions call for something a little naughty but oh so nice. I created this double baked caramel cheesecake 17 years ago after having my daughter. With a little more time on my hands whilst on maternity leave I would thoroughly enjoy creating recipes after finding a new passion for baking. There’s nothing more enjoyable than seeing joy on the faces of those around you when they bite into something you’ve created from baking. Well okay, there might be something else that is as equally enjoyable to me.. seeing the expressions on my peeps faces when I train them… but that’s another story entirely! Back to baking…
My grandmother would make the most delicious caramel slice. To this day I love using her recipe to make caramel slice for birthdays or basically just whenever asked! It was 17 years ago that I decided to get creative and use the base and filling from Mardi’s caramel slice in a cheesecake.
Viola.. cue my double baked caramel cheesecake creation, which I can easily say I get asked to make at least twice a year! Now that’s saying something. Either it’s that good or whenever asked.. ‘what birthday cake do you want?’ That’s the first thing my loved ones think of!!
As with everything, I am more than happy to share with you all. Go, enjoy baking and see the joy you bring to those around you as they taste all the deliciousness!
Bon appetit 👩🏼🍳
KERRIE’S DOUBLE BAKED CARAMEL CHEESECAKE
Ingredients – BASE
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup self raising flour
• 1/2 cup coconut
• 2 oz (56.7 grams) butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 150 Degrees Celsius
- Line 20cm spring-form cheesecake tin with baking paper
- Melt butter in microwave
- Place brown sugar, self raising flour and coconut in bowl and stir together
- Add melted butter and stir to combine
- Press into lined tin and bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes
Remove from oven and set aside
Ingredients – FILLING
• 2 blocks of cream cheese (500 grams)
• 1 cup of castor sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract
Method
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature (approximately 1 hour out of the fridge) Alternatively, carefully soften in microwave without cooking it
- Beat cream cheese
- Add sugar gradually
- Be sure to scrape down the bowl in between
- Beat in eggs, one at a time
- Add vanilla extract until mixed thoroughly
- Pour mixture carefully on top of the base
- Place back in oven for 30 minutes
Ingredients – TOPPING
• 1 tin of condensed milk
• 2 Tablespoons of golden syrup
• 1 Dessert spoon of butter
Method
- Put ingredients in a small saucepan
- Using a wooden spoon, melt over hot plate on low-medium heat until butter is dissolved
- Stir well
- Be sure to get into the corners of the saucepan and to not burn the caramel
- Nb. Don’t go and answer the front door or the telephone!!!
- Carefully pour the caramel on top of the cheesecake (once the 30 minutes cooking time is up) Cheesecake comes straight out of the oven.. then once the caramel is poured on top, goes straight back in to the oven
- Nb. When pouring the caramel on top, start on the outsides and carefully work in a circular motion towards the centre (otherwise your cheesecake will completely drop in the centre)
- Place back in the over for a further 10 minutes
- Turn oven off, leave cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar so it can cool
- Later cover and place in fridge
DECORATING
• Packet of Maltesers
• Packet of Peanut M&M’s
Simply place Maltesers around the outside of the cake, then followed by Peanut M&M’s, alternating each time
Serve and enjoy!!

Just remember to explore your own city first – KERRIE FITNESS
There are so many things to do in Sydney, and so so many places to explore. Sometimes we get a little caught up in getting to the next best thing that we can miss the journey. Fitness is like that. We so desperately want to get to our “end result” that sometimes we are prepared to cut corners.
Lasting fitness and health, truely lasting fitness and health, is a journey and one we should make part of our everyday lives. It is a process, one to prepare for and undertake regularly.
You don’t just wake up one day and decide to drive to Perth from Sydney. You prepare, you service your car, save money, factor in rest stops, judge how far you can travel each day to get to your destination safely. Fitness is exactly the same. We prepare, get dressed, sleep adequately, service our body (i.e eat well… fuel), save money… don’t pay for the add ons that will never be used (the upsell), train and rest. Not train ten times the first week and then skip a month. Or even worse, let the years go by without taking care of the one and only body you have for life.
Listen to your body. Don’t be afraid of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. A good instructor will help you with this and before you know it, you are on the path to your destination with almost zero chance of not making it.
Kerrie is that kind of instructor and KERRIE FITNESS is that kind of gym. So what are you waiting for? Want to keep spinning your wheels or drive with purpose to a happier and healthier you?
Come on in and join our friendly fitfam. Look forward to seeing you in the studio Monday’s – Thursdays and Saturdays. Unit H10, 5-7 Hepher Road, Campbelltown NSW 2560

KERRIE FITNESS – 100% – 5 from 5. But this time it's extra sweet!
Being nominated as a finalist in the fitness industry is one thing we really get a kick out of at KERRIE FITNESS. Ask me why?
It’s quite simple really. It is an affirmation that we are doing the right thing by our members, we are giving them what they want. We are caring about their progress, we are engaging them. We are with them the whole way.
We would like to thank each and every one of you “voters”, of course I won’t be making the classes easier! But Thanks.
In 2004 I started teaching Les Mills at Fitness First. Over the next decade along with the 20 plus classes I taught with Les Mills content, I also began to develop my own class, KERRIE CORE.
With Fitness First closing down I took the leap of faith and opened my own studio, continuing with Les Mills and ZUMBA plus adding more of my own classes to the timetable. And along the way collected 4 x Local Business award finalist nominations and won my second Les Mills Australia Asia Pacific Instructor of the year award (2008) (2014)
Late last year I once again took that leap of faith, and with a heavy heart let Les Mills programs go.
That was to make room for my own style of HIIT training KHIIT! Kerrie High Intensity Interval Training. Along with Kerrie Core and ZUMBA the timetable was completely renewed.
To have been fortunate enough to once again receive a nomination for finalist and this time not relying on a world wide known draw card such as Les Mills, I feel that this is the best nomination yet as it makes me believe I’m on the right path.
