Decadent dulce de leche cheesecake bars with a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and a luscious dulce de leche topping, sprinkled with a touch of sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 17 crackers)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 10 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup dulce de leche for topping
  • 3–5 tablespoons heavy cream (as needed)
  • Fleur de sel or flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Craft the Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into a greased 13×9-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Let it cool while you make the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: Blend the cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth. Add the dulce de leche and vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Pour the cheesecake batter onto your cooled crust and bake at 325°F for about 35–38 minutes.
  3. Make It Golden: Let the bars cool completely. Warm your dulce de leche topping with heavy cream until pourable. Pour and spread over the cooled cheesecake layer.
  4. Chill and Slice: Refrigerate the bars for at least an hour. When ready to serve, sprinkle with fleur de sel and slice into squares.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean slices.
  • For easier cutting, refrigerate the bars longer, if possible.
