Receta Caramel Cheesecake
Caramel Cheesecake
I think I am a cheesecake snob.
I have always been plane Jane about my cheesecake.
I do not want any fruit topping on it.
I do not want anything mixed in with my filling.
All I ever wanted was white yummy cream cheese.
Until now.
I have always loved caramel. So when I saw on the internet people making this dulce de leche, no less in a crock pot, I had to try it. The first time I made it, I mixed it in some brownie mix.
Not to shabby.
Then when I was at my favorite restaurant I saw it on the menu.
I can do that, I thought to myself.
And so I did. I modified my usual plain Jane cheesecake recipe and added some dulce de leche.
I did not do the crock pot method, I actually found mine in the Spanish section of my local supermarket.
