Equipment

1 9x9 square pan with parchment paper

Ingredients

Base

2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/2 cup butter melted
2 tbsp sugar granulated

Filling

16 ounce cream cheese softened to room temperature
1/2 cup dulce de leche
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

1/4 cup dulce de leche
1/8 cup milk as needed

Instructions

Make the Base

Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.
Mix Graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar in a bowl.
Transfer the base mixture to the pan, pressing firmly to compact it. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup or a flat bottomed glass to press the crumb mixture into the pan. This ensure an even and compact base. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Make the Filling

Beat the cream cheese with the vanilla, heavy cream, and dulce de leche. Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared base.
To make the swirl, you'll need a more runny dulce de leche to be able to extend it through. If your dulce de leche is too thick, add a couple tbsps of mile to make it thinner. Then add several drops of dulce de leche around the cheesecake (as pictured in the blog post above). Take a toothpick or the tip of a knife to create swirls with the dulce de leche drops.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until firm. For the best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. This will give it time to se completel.
Divide the cheesecake into squares, you can get 9 regular servings or 16 tiny bites.
