Dulce De leche Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with foil leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides for easier removal.

Make the crust: Place graham crumbs in a medium bowl and add butter. Stir until mixture comes together. Transfer to prepared pan and press mixture onto the bottom. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

Meanwhile, make the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together cream cheese, dulce de leche, and condensed milk on low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go, until well combined.

Whisk together eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the cream cheese mixture in 2 additions, mixing on low speed. Pour mixture onto the crust and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until set but jiggles gently in the center. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Unmold from pan. Spread dulce de leche on top of cheesecake, slice into bars, and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Bars will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
