Dulce De Leche Cheesecake
Just sounds delicious doesn't it? It and it was...oh yes, it was! (Sorry to drool so publicly, but go ahead, lick the screen if you have to!) "Dulce de Leche" is Portuguese or Spanish for 'milk candy' which is of course what you get when you cook some condensed milk long enough to make a sort of caramel. So combined with cheesecake (which, let's face it, is pretty decadent anyway...) you have 'like' the ultimate taste, texture and frankly it's pretty pretty as well! So here's hoping you have a Thermomix or an Induction cook top as they are the best ways to get an even temperature for the caramel process! (Otherwise, good luck with that...sorry!)
