Ingredients
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
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease the sides and base of a 9-inch springform pan.
- 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. Â [ArticleReco:{"articles":["10155"]}]
