Pastillas Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter melted, plus extra for greasing
  • 2 cups Digestive biscuits crushed (we used 32 Marie biscuits)
  • 8 to 10 2-inch pieces pastillas de leche plus more for decorating
  • 450 Grams cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup sugar preferably caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 Egg beaten slightly
  • 1/4 store-bought dulce de leche or use homemade caramelized sweetened milk
  • confectioner's sugar for dusting
  • dulce de leche for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and press down onto the base of the pan.
  • Spread pastillas over the base and chill until ready to assemble.
  • Using a mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and eggs together until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove pan from refrigerator. Pour cream cheese mixture over the top of the pastillas and swirl dulce de leche in the mixture.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until pale golden. When you gently shake the pan, the cake should only wobble slightly
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan. Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle top with a few pieces of pastillas, then dust with confectioners’ sugar or drizzle with dulce de leche.
  • Cut into slices to serve. This cheesecake is best eaten when it is at room temperature.
