Here you have a super easy dessert for any day of the week or for a special occasion! I hope you can give it a try!!!
Ingredients:
- 700 g cream cheese
- 180 g granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp nut extract
- 1 can 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk (dulce de leche flavored)
To make the crust:
- 2 packs Nut flavor cookies ( 230 g)
- 1 stick butter ( 90g)
Preheat the oven to 320ºF
Blend the cookies until well blended. (You will get a flour like consistency)
Melt the butter.
Grease the pan with butter or shortening.
Mix the cookie flour with the melted butter. Press this mixture to the bottom of you pan. And set aside.
To make the filling:
In a blender or mixer, add in the cream cheese, the sugar, the eggs, a ¼ cup of chopped nuts, the sour cream, the nut extract and the cornstarch; mix or blend on low speed for 1 minute. Then Mix or blend on high speed for 3 more minutes.
Pour the Creamcheese mixture into the pan over the crust. Flatten it out on an even layer and bake at 320ºF for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, turn off the oven, but leave the cheesecake in the oven for 30 more minutes.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool down before decorating it.
To decorate it:
In a small skillet, add in the Dulce de Leche Sweetened condensed milk and ¼ cup of chopped nuts, mix well and heat up for 2 or 3 minutes, if you think the mixture is too thick, feel free to add one or two tablespoons of water or milk to thin it out. Cook on low heat for 2 minutes or until the Dulce de leche is softer and thinner.
Spoon or pour the Dulce de Leche mix over the surface of the Cheesecake and sprinkle with more chopped nuts and that’s it.
Enjoy!!!
