Perfect for dessert lovers and special occasions, this recipe features simple ingredients and a luscious marbled effect, finished with a glossy dulce de leche topping for a truly decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (675 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dulce de leche (divided: half folded into filling, half reserved for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a firm crust and refrigerate while making the filling.
  2. Whip the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
  3. Incorporate Dulce de Leche: Gently fold about half of the dulce de leche into the cream cheese mixture to create a marbled effect. Set aside the remaining dulce de leche for topping.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50–60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and Add Topping: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Spread the remaining dulce de leche evenly on top for a glossy finish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Beat just until combined to prevent cracking.
  • Bake in a water bath to maintain even heat and avoid cracks.
  • Chill thoroughly for the best texture and flavor melding.
  • Choose high-quality dulce de leche for maximum decadence.
