Caramel Cheesecake

A cheesecake for people with a sweet tooth. For this recipe, the caramel is made not only with sugar, but also margarine, golden syrup, and agave nectar. Agave nectar is a syrup extracted from tequiliana plants, which grown in Mexico. It is sweeter than honey, but has a lower GI, meaning you can fulfil your sugar cravings without raising your blood sugar levels too quickly. Based on the brands I used, each slice is about 178 calories.
