Easy Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups (about 21 graham cracker squares) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 can (13.4 ounces) dulce de leche

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and 2 tablespoons sugar. Firmly press onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

In a large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until well blended. Add sour cream and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, just until blended.

Remove 1-1/4 cups cheesecake batter and mix with dulce de leche. Pour remaining batter over crust. Drop spoonfuls of dulce de leche mixture over batter. Gently swirl batter with a knife.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until center of cheesecake is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool. When pan is cool enough to handle, run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool to room temperature before removing rim. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
