This amazing dessert combines two of my favorite things- dulce de leche, and <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dessert-recipes\/cheesecake\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade cheesecake<\/a>! If you love all things caramel and are looking for an amazing dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth with, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe starts with a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with creamy vanilla cheesecake. What really makes this dessert special, though, is the dulce de leche that gets swirled in. This milky caramel sauce makes the cheesecake a dream.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredient-list\">Ingredient List<\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a bunch of ingredients to put this Dulce de Leche cheesecake together. Just a few pantry staples and canned Dulce de Leche sauce! (Exact measurements are in the recipe card at the end of the post.)<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crust<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Graham Cracker Crumbs:<\/strong> The foundation of the crust. To switch things up, you could also use Nilla Wafer crumbs!<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/granulated-sugar-4lbs-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-78471310?aflt=plt#lnk=sametab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Sugar<\/a><\/strong>: Sweetens up the crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Melted Butter<\/strong>: Adds richness and helps to hold everything together. I used unsalted butter since we add salt separately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pinch\u00a0Salt<\/strong>: So the crust doesn\u2019t taste bland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheesecake Filling<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cream Cheese<\/strong>: Room temperature so everything mixes together smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour Cream<\/strong>: Makes the cheesecake filling extra tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> So the filling is nice and sweet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large Eggs<\/strong>: Again, at room temperature so you have a smooth cheesecake batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/mccormick-pure-vanilla-extract-2oz\/-\/A-13353225?aflt=plt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Vanilla<\/a><\/strong>: Pure vanilla extract is best! It adds the best warm flavor to the cheesecake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dulce De Leche<\/strong>: I used canned Dulce de Leche for easy prep!  You can also use homemade Dulce de Leche if you\u2019re up for the challenge, you\u2019ll need about 1 \u00bc cup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips cwp-large\"><!-- .block-quick-tips__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-caramel-flavor\">More Caramel Flavor<\/h3>\n<p>For added caramel flavor, substitute all or part of the granulated sugar for brown sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\">How to Make Dulce de Leche Cheesecake<\/h2>\n<p>I know it looks like a lot of steps, bear with me here! Making the perfect homemade cheesecake is a labor of love. And so worth it!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat Oven, Prepare Pan<\/strong>: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9 or 10-inch springform pan by spraying it well with pan spray. Then set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crust<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Crust Mixture<\/strong>: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together. This should resemble damp sand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add to Pan<\/strong>: Add the crumb mixture into the prepared springform pan and press evenly into the bottom. You can use the bottom of a flat glass or a flat measuring cup to really press it in well and get a nice, even crust. You may alternatively press it into the bottom and then half way up the sides if that is the style of crust you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheesecake Filling<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Beat Cream Cheese<\/strong>: Add the softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer and beat with a paddle at medium\/high speed for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for a few seconds more, until smooth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix In Sugar and Sour Cream<\/strong>: Add sugar and sour cream and beat at medium\/low speed until just combined. Scrape the bowl again and mix 10 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Eggs and Vanilla<\/strong>: Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds-1 minute. Scrape the bowl again. At this point the batter should be smooth and fairly runny.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap With Foil<\/strong>: Prepare the springform pan by carfully wrapping the outside with 4 sheets of 18-inch heavy duty aluminum foil. You may use regular foil, but it may take a couple more sheets to ensure the water does not get into the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put in Deep Pan:<\/strong> Place the wrapped pan in a deep roasting pan. You may alternatively use a baking sheet, so long as the sides are about 2 inches deep.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Batter and Caramel Sauce<\/strong>: Add half of the cheesecake batter to the pan. Spoon about half of the warm dulce de leche over the top of the batter and swirl with a knife, being careful not to go too deep into the batter. You don\u2019t want to hit the crust with the knife.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Layer<\/strong>: Layer the rest of the cheesecake batter on top and swirl the remaining dulce de leche on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prepare Water Bath<\/strong>: Add very hot water to the baking pan until there is about 1 \u00bd inch of water around the springform pan. Carefully place the pan on a rack in the lower 3rd of the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Bake for 1-1 \u00bd hours. After about an hour of baking, check the cheesecake\u2019s consistency. A slight jiggle of the pan (while still in the oven) should tell you if it\u2019s ready or needs more time. The cheesecake should be jiggly, but not liquid. If it seems very liquidy still, give it 15 more minutes and check it again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool<\/strong>: Once the cheesecake is mostly firm, with just a slight wobble in the center, turn the oven off but leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour or so, until the oven has cooled down. Resist the temptation to open the oven during this time! The purpose of this step is to allow the cheesecake to cool slowly as the oven cools. Doing this will prevent it from cracking, as one of the biggest reasons cheesecakes crack is the drastic temperature change going from the hot oven into the much cooler kitchen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove Foil<\/strong>: Once the oven and the dulce de leche cheesecake have cooled, remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil lining the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chill<\/strong>: Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove From Pan<\/strong>: Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the pan to ensure an easy release when the springform is removed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-1200x1200.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-150x150.png 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-1200x1200.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-1200x1200.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-1200x1200.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dolce-de-leche-cheesecake-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips cwp-large\"><!-- .block-quick-tips__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-successful-dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\">Tips for Successful Dulce de Leche Cheesecake<\/h3>\n<p>A few extra tips to keep in mind so your dulce de leche cheesecake turns out wonderfully! Cheesecake really isn\u2019t that difficult to make, but there are a few key things to remember so the flavor and texture are the best they can be.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Overbeat:<\/strong>\u00a0Remember, overbeating your batter invites unwanted air into the mix. This can cause the batter to rise uncontrollably or fall flat during baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grease Your Spring Form Pan:<\/strong>\u00a0Even if your trusty springform pan has a non-stick surface, don\u2019t be tempted to skip greasing it. Think of it as giving your cheesecake an extra layer of insurance for a smooth and effortless release. You don\u2019t want all that hard work to end up falling apart!<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Peeking:<\/strong>\u00a0After all the effort you\u2019ve put into creating the perfect water bath for your cheesecake, it\u2019s crucial to let it work its magic. So don\u2019t peek! Every time you open the oven door, you release that precious steam and risk exposing your delicate cheesecake to sudden temperature changes. This can cause it to crack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let it Cool:\u00a0<\/strong>You will know your cheesecake is done when there is a slight wobble to the center. Don\u2019t stick a knife or a thermometer inside it. It will cause it to crack. Once it\u2019s done, turn off the oven and let it come to room temperature inside the oven. This takes about an hour. Patience is key!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjust Dulce De Leche Consistency: <\/strong>You may thin your dulce de leche down by adding a tablespoon or two of cream before you warm it. Once it has been heated, stir until it\u2019s smooth. If it\u2019s not thinned, it\u2019s best to spoon it over the cheesecake batter so it doesn\u2019t go on in giant blobs and sink to the bottom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241803\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1200x1799.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1200x1799.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1200x1799.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241803\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1200x1799.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout cwp-large\"><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storing-leftovers\">Storing Leftovers<\/h3>\n<p>Store leftover dulce de leche cheesecake in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap the fridge for up to 5 days.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-freeze-dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\">Can I Freeze Dulce de Leche Cheesecake?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes!

Freeze for up to 3 months and then thaw overnight in the fridge when you\u2019re ready to enjoy it again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-leftovers-callout --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241804\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1200x1799.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1200x1799.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1200x1799.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241804\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1200x1799.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake-2-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<section class=\"block-post-listing cwp-large layout-4up-grid\">\n<header>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-these-other-cheesecake-recipes-next\">Try These Other Cheesecake Recipes Next:<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"block-area block-area-before-recipe\">\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta cwp-large\">\n<p class=\"block-pinterest-cta__title\">Pin this now to find it later<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/&amp;media=https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/dulce_de_leche_cheesecake.jpg&amp;description=Dulce de Leche Cheesecake\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"wp-element-button\" data-postid=\"241640\" data-pin-do=\"none\" data-social-network=\"Pinterest\" data-social-action=\"Pin\" data-social-target=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Pin It<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- This site is converting visitors into subscribers and customers with OptinMonster - https:\/\/optinmonster.com :: Campaign Title: TRC - RECIPE SAVE - DT - INL --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/ OptinMonster --><\/p>\n<p><!-- This site is converting visitors into subscribers and customers with OptinMonster - https:\/\/optinmonster.com :: Campaign Title: TRC - RECIPE SAVE - MB - INL --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/ OptinMonster --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-241641\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"241641\" data-servings=\"12\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-cwp-food\">\n<div class=\"cwp-food-content\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-recipe-241641-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"241641\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-none\">Crust<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-1-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together. This should resemble damp sand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-1-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Add the crumb mixture into the prepared springform pan and press evenly into the bottom. You can use the bottom of a flat glass or a flat measuring cup to really press it in well and get a nice, even crust. You may alternatively press it into the bottom and then half way up the sides if that is the style of crust you prefer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-1-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Bake for 10 minutes.

Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for a few seconds more, until smooth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-2-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Add sugar and sour cream and beat at medium\/low speed until just combined. Scrape the bowl again and mix 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-2-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds-1 minute. Scrape the bowl again. At this point the batter should be smooth and fairly runny.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-2-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Prepare the springform pan by carfully wrapping the outside with 4 sheets of 18-inch heavy duty aluminum foil. You may use regular foil, but it may take a couple more sheets to ensure the water does not get into the pan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-2-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Place the wrapped pan in a deep roasting pan.

Spoon about half of the warm dulce de leche over the top of the batter and swirl with a knife, being careful not to go too deep into the batter. You don\u2019t want to hit the crust with the knife.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-2-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Layer the rest of the cheesecake batter on top and swirl the remaining dulce de leche on top.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-none\">Baking<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Add very hot water to the baking pan until there is about 1 \u00bd inch of water around the springform pan. Carefully place the pan on a rack in the lower 3rd of the oven.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Bake for 1-1 \u00bd hours. After about an hour of baking, check the cheesecake\u2019s consistency. A slight jiggle of the pan (while still in the oven) should tell you if it\u2019s ready or needs more time. The cheesecake should be jiggly, but not liquid. If it seems very liquidy still, give it 15 more minutes and check it again.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Once the cheesecake is mostly firm, with just a slight wobble in the center, turn the oven off but leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour or so, until the oven has cooled down. Resist the temptation to open the oven during this time! The purpose of this step is to allow the cheesecake to cool slowly as the oven cools. Doing this will prevent it from cracking, as one of the biggest reasons cheesecakes crack is the drastic temperature change going from the hot oven into the much cooler kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Once the oven and the cheesecake have cooled, remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil lining the pan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-241641-step-3-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the pan to ensure an easy release when the springform is removed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cwp-food-nutrition\">\n<p><span class=\"wprm-nutrition-label-text-nutrition-container
