WHAT A TREAT! EVEN MY 2 YEAR OLD TRIED IT AND SAID, “SO YUMMMMMMY, MOOOORE!” ENJOY!
For the Crust:
1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat
oven to 325F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with
nonstick foil, leaving an overhang. Stir all ingredients together and
press onto the bottom of the pan. Bake 10 mins and cool on a rack 5
mins.
For the Filling:
1
cup dulce delche (I made mine by pouring one 14-oz can of sweetened
condensed milk into an 8×8 pyrex, cover with foil, place in larger pan
filled halfway with water and bake at 425 for approx 70-90 mins. mine took the full 90 mins. Cool)
16 ounces room temp cream cheese
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pour
the dulce onto the cooled crust and spread. Put in fridge while making
the filling. For the filling: beat cream cheese and sugar to blend. Add
eggs and vanilla. Pour filling over
the dulce de leche layer evenly, and bake for 45-55 minutes at 325, or until
the center only slightly jiggles. Remove and cool completely. Chill
in fridge at least 3 hours.
For the Glaze:
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Microwave all until smooth. Pour over the cheesecake evenly and chill at least 30 mins. Drizzle with more chocolate, if desired! Cut into squares! EASILY DOUBLES IN 9X13 PAN.
