How to Make Dulce de Leche & Marshmallow Cheesecake

Ingredients

2 1⁄2 oz (75 g) butter
8 oz (220 g) Digestive biscuits or Honey Graham crackers
7 oz (200 ml) fresh whipping cream
7 oz (200 g) cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons icing sugar/powdered sugar (optional)
5-6 tablespoons dulce de leche (caramel)
1⁄2 cup mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows, chopped)
3 tablespoons mini Malteser-like chocolate bits, or little fudge bits

Directions

Prepare the Base: Line the base of a springform tin with parchment paper. If using large marshmallows, chop them into mini pieces. Crush the Digestive biscuits or Graham crackers in a zippy bag with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs. Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds. Combine the crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl and stir well. Transfer the crumb mixture to the prepared tin and press down firmly with a glass or your hands to form a compact base.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whip the cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Brush the sides of the tin with some oil to prevent sticking.
Layer the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the base. Scatter half of the marshmallows over the top and dollop about 7-8 blobs of dulce de leche. Use a knife or a teaspoon handle to swirl the caramel gently. Add the remaining cream mixture and smooth it out. Finish by randomly scattering the remaining marshmallows, chocolate bits, and more caramel blobs over the top.
Chill: Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set. Once it’s ready, enjoy this decadent, caramel-filled cheesecake with every delightful bite!

How to Serve Dulce de Leche & Marshmallow Cheesecake

To serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform tin and place it on a serving plate. You can slice it into wedges or squares. It pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of extra dulce de leche on top and a sprinkle of chocolate bits for an added touch!

How to Store Dulce de Leche & Marshmallow Cheesecake

Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge. It should stay fresh for 3-4 days. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze it, but make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

Tips to Make Dulce de Leche & Marshmallow Cheesecake

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
For a firmer cheesecake, let it chill overnight instead of just 4 hours.
Feel free to add nuts or fruits for extra texture and flavor.
