Dulce De Leche Cheesecake

Dulce De Leche!!! What is this??? I have never seen this before and I can't pronounce it, but I'm very curous about it. After reading so much about it, I used the slow cooker method to make my first can of Dulce De Leche. It was quite easy. I submerged the whole can of unopened condense milk into the slow cooker and left to cooked it overnight. It came out perfectly.Haha...
Do you know what "dulce de leche" means? It means sweet milk and it is a traditional milk product from the country of Argentina. It is used as a topping for ice cream or fresh fruit, like bananas, as a filling for cakes, cheesecakes and cookies, or as a simply decadent spread for toast. Thick and intensely flavored, it should be slightly warmed to make it pourable.

I made some changes and did not follow the recipe that I found from Bakericious's Blog to make this cheesecake. Dulce de leche is used to give the cheesecake a delicious caramel flavor.

Ingredients:


Biscuit Base:
12pieces of oreo cookies
(used roller to crush the oreo)
