Instrucciones
Prepare the Crust:
-
Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and lining a 9x9 square baking dish with parchment paper.
-
In a blender, pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and add sugar and cinnamon, mixing with a fork. Pour in melted butter and blend until a crumbly mixture is achieved.
-
Press the crumbly mixture firmly into the prepared dish and bake for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
-
In a new bowl, blend cream cheese until smooth to avoid clumps in your cheesecake.
-
Add sugar, blending until fluffy, followed by dulce de leche caramel. Add vanilla, lemon juice, and one egg, mixing until combined, then incorporate the remaining eggs one at a time, until a smooth, slightly orange/brown batter is formed.
-
Pour the batter over the cooled crust, smoothing it evenly across the pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center begins to puff and cracks appear. Allow cooling for 1 hour.
Prepare the Topping:
-
In a small bowl, mix dulce de leche with heavy cream until the mixture becomes fluffy and lightens in color.
-
After the cheesecake cools, pour the caramel topping and spread it evenly, followed by a sprinkle of sea salt. Cut into 15 bites, and enjoy your scrumptious Dulce De Leche Cheesecake Bites!
