Tip: Caramelizing Sugar

Tip #1

Split vanilla bean lengthwise with sharp knife. Using the back side of table knife, scrape seeds from pod.

Tip #2

If you aren't planning on eating all of the cheesecake at once only caramelize the part you're eating. It loses it's crunchiness after being in the fridge.
