Indulge in these irresistible Dulce de Leche Chocolate Cheesecake Bars featuring rich chocolate and creamy cheesecake, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup dulce de leche
  • Vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the crust.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with 5 tablespoons melted butter until well-combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a solid crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in 1 cup dulce de leche until fully combined.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
  9. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality dulce de leche and allow the bars to cool completely in the fridge for better flavor and texture.
