This recipe is dedicated to my daughter Jessica
and her friend Janette...
A couple of weeks ago, Jessica decided to make her own caramel by boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk...
as you surely can...
but...
as things sometimes go wrong...
the can turned into a "hot caramel bomb" as Jessica put it...
exploded all over their huge kitchen...
and all over them...
it took them 4 hours to clean all the caramel off everything...
she said she had even washed her hair 3 times
and it was still full of caramel...
I know it wasn't funny at the time...
but maybe, they'll be able to laugh about it one day!
For future caramel cravings, ladies, have I got a product for you!
Nestle La Lechera Dulce de Leche!
Yes, it's $4.00 a can, but it's not dangerous
Let's make the crust:
Melt the butter and add the sugar and graham cracker crumbs...
Press it well along the bottom and sides of the spring-form pan...
It will be perfect like this!
Now for the amazing filling:
Cream the sugar and the cream cheese until smooth...
add the eggs one at a time...
and then the cream...
Mix the 1 1/4 cup of the filling with the caramel...
Stir until well combined...
Add the cheesecake mixture to the pan...
Drop the caramel over the cheesecake in delicious dollops...
Take a knife and gently make swirls with the caramel...
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes...
After it has been refrigerated over night, gently loosen the edges from the pan and remove the ring...
Enjoy each amazing piece!
