Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• Pour cream cheese mixture over prepared crust, smooth top and bake for 50 minutes.
• Turn off the oven, open the door and let the cheesecake sit in the warm oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and let cool for an hour.
• Combine brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Stir continuously until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
• Whisk in condensed milk, corn syrup and vanilla and bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
• Place a candy thermometer in the caramel mixture and continue to boil until the caramel reaches 225 degrees F (or reaches soft ball stage if you don't have a thermometer. That means that when you drop a bit of it into cold water to cool it down, it will form a soft ball.).

• Smooth and let set until cool.
• Cut into squares and serve.
