I'm originally from Paraguay, and dulce de leche reminds me of where I came from. If you can't find it at your grocery store, try caramel ice cream topping instead. It tastes different, but this decadent dessert will still be amazing. -Sonia Lipham, Ranburne, Alabama

Below are two different ways to make this delicious caramel spread: One is more classic-cooking down milk and sugar-but it requires a fair amount of attention and stirring. The other uses sweetened condensed milk and a long, though mostly unattended, time in the oven.

Yield Makes 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Classic method:
4 cups milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sweetened condensed milk method:
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Classic menthod:
  • Stir together 4 cups milk, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and thickened, about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. (After about an hour, stir more often as milk caramelizes, to avoid burning.) Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
  • Sweetened condensed milk method:
  • Heat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Pour the contents of 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and cover tightly with foil. Set plate in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up pie plate. Bake milk in middle of oven 45 minutes. Check water level and add additional, if necessary, then continue to bake 45 minutes more, or until milk is thick and brown. Remove pie plate from water bath and cool, uncovered. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cheesecake is rich, creamy, and delicious. Look for full-fat cream cheese, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality toffee.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating can incorporate too much air into the batter, which can cause the cheesecake to crack or sink. Mix the batter until it is just smooth and creamy.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to create a moist and creamy cheesecake. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Top the cheesecake with toffee shards: This will add a delicious crunch and sweetness to the cheesecake. You can make your own toffee shards by melting toffee bits in a microwave or oven and then spreading them out on a baking sheet to cool.

This dulce de leche cheesecake is a rich, creamy, and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a graham cracker crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, and a dulce de leche topping. The cheesecake is baked in a water bath to ensure that it is moist and creamy.
