Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 (13.4-oz) cans dulce de leche
  • 3 (8-oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1¼ cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Stir together crushed cookies, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add melted butter, stirring until blended. Press mixture into bottom and 1-inch up sides of a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
  2. Spoon dulce de leche into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until mixture is warmed and spreadable. Carefully spread warm dulce de leche over cooled crust.
  3. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add flour, beating until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Beat in cream and vanilla until blended.
  4. Spoon cheesecake batter over dulce de leche. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven with door closed 4 hours. Remove from oven, and cool completely.
  5. Drizzle with additional dulce de leche, if desired.
