Receta Dulce de leche Cheesecake
My hubby is a huge fan of caramel~ I had a can of Dulce de leche sauce in my pantry, so for his birthday I thought I would combine two of his favorites together, Caramel and Cheesecake!
I found this fantastic recipe on Diana's Desserts. Diana's Desserts is a website dedicated to Home Bakers and for anyone who loves and enjoys the world of sweets and baking. My kinda place:) Stop by and check it out~ I used ready-made Dulce de leche sauce but you can find a recipe for "made from scratch" Dulce de leche sauce on Diana's Desserts. Enjoy!
Dulce de leche Cheesecake
Crust:
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 4 T butter, melted
- Filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 2 T all-purpose flour
- 2 t vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup ready-made Dulce de leche* sauce
- plus extra dulce de leche sauce for serving
- whipped cream, if desired
Directions~
1. Preheat oven to 400º F
2. Mix crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of a lightly buttered 9-inch springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
3. Reset oven temperature to 325º F
4. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and flour together until well mixed and smooth. Add vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until smooth. Add milk and mix until smooth.
5. Add dulce de leche sauce and stir just until combined. (Diana's recipe called for swirling the sauce into the batter, making a marbling effect.)
6. Pour batter into crust.
7. Bake in a preheated 325º F oven for 45-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from oven and gently run metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cheesecake. (This helps to prevent cracking) Let cool for 20-25 minutes, before covering and placing in the refrigerator. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight before serving. Drizzle each serving slice with extra dulce de leche sauce and serve with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!

Kitchen Tip: If you find you've run out of bread crumbs, try using crushed corn, wheat or rice cereal. Be sure to avoid sweetened cereals, though.
