Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure the crust is even and compact. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool while preparing the filling.

Cheesecake Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and dulce de leche to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 6

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.

  5. 7

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and only slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.

  6. 8

    Chill the Cheesecake

    After cooling, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Topping

  1. 9

    Prepare the Topping

    Before serving, spread the additional dulce de leche over the top of the chilled cheesecake evenly.

  2. 10

    Add Whipped Cream

    Top with whipped cream, using a piping bag if desired for decoration.

  3. 11

    Finish with Chocolate Shavings

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for an elegant finish.
