This dessert was inspired by my friends from JAP group..I'm looking for...Thanks Ladies This has a shortbread crust that stays crisp--topped with the creamy caramely goodness swirled into the cheesecake...OMG !!! This recipe does need to be made ahead of time, a day before if you can, but at least 4 hours in the fridge chilling allowing the flavors to come together...

How To Make dulche de leche cheesecake bars
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 9x13 pan with foil, folding excess over the sides.
-
2Mix together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Add flour and mix just to combine. Press the dough evenly the bottom of the pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown, with the edges slightly darker than the center. Let cool on a wire rack.
-
3LOWER the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
-
4While crust is cooling, mix in 1/8 teaspoon salt into 1/2 cup dulche de leche. Set aside.
-
5In bowl of electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes on medium speed.
-
6Beat in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
-
7Scrape down the bowl and beat until batter is completely smooth and well blended. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of cheesecake batter into the salted dulche de leche.
-
8Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Dollop the dulce de leche mixture over the cheesecake batter, leaving plenty of cheesecake batter in between. Using a knife, swirl the dulce de leche into the cheesecake batter in small circles until the surface is nicely marbled. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until the filling is puffed but still jiggles like Jell-o when the pan is nudged.
-
9Set the pan on a cooling rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours before cutting into squares and serving. Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
