Introduction

Stuffed cabbage rolls are a classic comfort food enjoyed around the world—from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. Combining tender cabbage leaves with a savory filling of seasoned meat and rice, then simmered in a rich tomato sauce, these hearty rolls make for a satisfying and nostalgic dish. Whether you’re preparing them for a family dinner or a special occasion, they’re always a crowd-pleaser and surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

1 medium green cabbage

1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 cup cooked white rice

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

1 egg

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 cup water or beef broth

Instructions

Prepare the Cabbage:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage. Submerge the whole cabbage into the boiling water for a few minutes, then peel off the softened outer leaves one at a time. Repeat as needed until you have about 10–12 large leaves.

Make the Filling:

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until everything is well combined.

Assemble the Rolls:

Trim the thick stem from each cabbage leaf to make it easier to roll. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, like a burrito.

Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, and water or broth. Bring to a simmer.

Cook the Rolls:

Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a large baking dish or Dutch oven. Pour the sauce over the top, making sure all rolls are covered. Cover with foil or a lid.

Bake:

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the meat is fully cooked.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream. These rolls pair perfectly with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

Creamy Caramel Cheesecake Delight: The Ultimate Indulgence

 Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the sugar, beating until fully combined.

Mix in vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.

Stir in sour cream and heavy cream, mixing until smooth. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

Pour half the filling over the cooled crust.

Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the filling, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Add the remaining filling and spread evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top, creating swirls.

Step 4: Bake

Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. (This water bath helps prevent cracks.)

Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.

Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving. For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts.

Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Softened cream cheese and room temperature eggs mix more smoothly, preventing lumps.

Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing introduces air into the batter, which can cause cracks during baking.

Use a Water Bath: This ensures even baking and prevents the cheesecake from drying out.

Chill Completely: Allow enough time for the cheesecake to set in the fridge for the best texture.

Variations

Salted Caramel: Sprinkle sea salt over the caramel for a sweet-salty twist.

Nutty Topping: Add toasted pecans or almonds on top for crunch.

Chocolate Drizzle: Swirl in melted chocolate with the caramel for a richer flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a refreshing contrast.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Accompany with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate dessert experience.

Why This Recipe Works

The buttery crust provides a sturdy base that contrasts beautifully with the creamy, tangy filling. The caramel sauce not only adds sweetness but also enhances the dessert’s visual appeal, making it as delightful to look at as it is to eat.

 

Conclusion

Creamy Caramel Cheesecake Delight is a dessert that combines simplicity with elegance. Its rich flavors, creamy texture, and stunning presentation make it perfect for any occasion, from holiday dinners to casual family gatherings. With its easy preparation and impressive results, this cheesecake is sure to become a cherished favorite in your dessert repertoire. Savor every bite and share the joy with loved ones!
