Step-by-step photos, lots of tips for success and video tutorial are included below. Key Ingredients:You only need 10 ingredients to make this cheesecake.
How to make this recipe:1. Prepare the panTo ensure smooth, evenly-cooked cheesecake with no cracks, we’ll cook it in a water bath. And to prevent soggy crust we need to wrap the springform pan in a foil first.
TipBe careful not to tear the foil and make a hole, or it’ll defeat the whole point. 2. Make the crust:We’re going to make a tall cheesecake crust to wrap the creamy cheesecake filling all the way up. First, we’ll crush the crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs. Then stir in sugar, followed by melted butter. The mixture should be evenly moistened and resemble a wet sand. TipThe texture of the crust should be wet-sand-like. It should ball up when you squeeze it in your palm. Now, transfer the mixture into the prepared springform pan, then evenly spread and press the crust mixture onto the bottom and all the way up the sides. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling. 3. Make the filling:First, we’ll whip the softened cream cheese with a paddle attachment until nice and fluffy. Then add dulce de leche, sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl half way. Stir in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. TipTry not to incorporate too much air bubbles in the mixture by mixing the filling on medium low speed. 4. BakePour the filling into the prepared pan and tap the pan on the counter couple of times to pop any trapped air bubbles. Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan and pour 1-2 cups of hot water into the pan. Bake the cheesecake for about an hour at 350°F. Once the cheesecake is set around the edges and slightly wobbly in the center, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven slowly for at least an hour. Then cool completely on a cooling rack and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight. Spread reserved dulce de leche and sprinkle some sea salt flakes before serving.
