Indulge in the rich and creamy decadence of this Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. A luscious dessert that combines the smoothness of cheesecake with the caramel sweetness of dulce de leche, creating a perfect harmony of flavors.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dulce de leche

For the topping:

  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even layer.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, then the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract and dulce de leche until smooth.
  4. Fill the springform pan: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the cheesecake: Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  6. Cool and chill: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Add toppings: Drizzle with dulce de leche before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and nuts if desired.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the cheesecake longer.
  • Experiment with different nut toppings for variety.
