The dulce de leche flavor is subtle, and the cheesecake is not overly sweet. The cake will certainly benefit from a good drizzling of dulce de leche on top.

Ingredients
Base
⅓ cup (40g) almond meal
¾ cup (105g) plain flour
¼ cup (55g) caster (superfine)
sugar
90g butter, chopped
Filling
225g (8oz) cream cheese,
softened
2 large eggs
1 cup (350g/12½oz) dulce
de leche
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
- To make the base, place the almond meal, flour, sugar and butter in a bowl. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until a rough dough forms.
- Line the base of a 20cm-round springform tin with baking paper. Place the base mixture into the base and flatten. Bake at 150°C/350°F until light golden, about 12-15 minutes.
- To make the filling, beat cream cheese, dulce de leche, eggs, flour, vanilla and salt with a whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour batter over the base and bake at 160°C/325°F until the centre is almost set, about 40-50 minutes.
- Remove from oven and run a metal spatula around the rim of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. This helps prevent cracking. Let the cheesecake cool for about 20-25 minutes before covering and placing in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.
This is a nice looking cheesecake :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to see another recipe from you :) Hope your absence hasn't anything to do with ' horrible publishing issues' - silly people say I, though I worked myself for years in publishing. Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteFunny how these blogs work: was thinking/reading recently about dulce de leche - even bought a tin of condensed milk - and there's your recipe for a yummy-sounding cheesecake! Though you don't make yours with condensed milk, do you?
You're obviously an Antipodean: all this Edmonds Cookbook, Donna Hay and so. I'm a NZ'er myself, though have lived here in the northern hemisphere, for years.
Good luck - and I'll keep checking your site!
Kind regards, Veronica
