Ingredients:
For the Base:
- 2 packages of chocolate cookies, finely processed
- 100 g melted butter
For the Cheesecake Mixture:
- 300 g cream
- 300 g dulce de leche
- 600 g cream cheese
- 8 egg yolks
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
- In a bowl, combine the finely processed chocolate cookies with the melted butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 28 cm springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to ensure it is compact and even.
- Bake the base in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: 5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream, dulce de leche, and cream cheese. Beat until smooth and well combined. 6. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Assemble and Bake: 7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled cookie base, spreading it evenly. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour. The cheesecake is done when the edges are firm, and the center still has a slight jiggle, similar to a flan. 9. Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
Decorate and Serve: 10. Once the cheesecake is completely cool, decorate the top with a generous layer of dulce de leche. Spread it evenly for a smooth finish. 11. Optionally, you can add a drizzle of melted chocolate or additional crushed chocolate cookies for extra decoration. 12. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Enjoy! Slice and serve this decadent New York Style Cheesecake with Chocotorta base, and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors that make this dessert a true delight.
