Dulce de Leche (Caramel Cheesecake)
| Total : 10 hours | Prep : 30 min |
Ingredients:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 4 sheets low-fat graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 3 8-ounce packages reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Splenda
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup fat-free milk
- ½ cup dulce de leche
Directions:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. Lightly spray the inside of a 9-inch spring form pan with the cooking spray.
- To make the crust, mix the crumbs and melted margarine in a medium bowl until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- To make the filling, mix the cream cheese, Splenda, and flour together in a large bowl with a spoon or fork until blended. Add vanilla and mix on medium until smooth, adding the milk while mixing. Mix until smooth.
- Transfer ½ cup of the batter to a small bowl. Add the dulce de leche and whisk until combined. Pour the plain batter into the crust. Add dulce de leche by spoonfuls to top of the batter. Insert a butter knife into the batter and swirl the two batters together for a marbling effect.
- Bake until the sides of the filling are slightly puffed and the center is almost set, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Cool on a wire cake rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 8 hours or overnight
