What is Dulce de Leche?
Dulce de leche is boiled down milk and sugar. Depending on the region, it might contain vanilla, cinnamon or cloves. I'm a little obsessed with dulce de leche and I'm very pleased that, here in Paraguay, we can get it at any supermarket cheaply. If you can't find it, check out this recipe: Now, this cheesecake pie comes together rather quickly. Let's talk about the crust first: I used chocolate cookies. I like to choose butter cookies, I find that they hold together better than other cookies. That said, I really like Oreos too. When using Oreos, I use the whole cookie, filling too and add less butter, more like a ¼ cup. Second, the filling: I like to work with everything at room temperature. So 15 to 20 minutes before I start, I get the cream cheese and dulce de leche out of the fridge and set them aside while I make the crust or base for the cheesecake. How to whip cream: 10 minutes before I need to whip some cream, I set it in the freezer along with my bowl and the whisk. After 10 minutes, I get it out and start whipping. Whip for about 5 minutes on medium-high, or until soft peak. Other options are: cool whip or chantilly (ours come in a powder form)

Sorry this is not a cake it is more like a pudding, it never sets properly. Followed directions and ingredients exactly have made many other no bake cheese cakes in the past without this problem.
Lizet
Sorry to hear it. Maybe the dulce de leche was not as thick as the one I used for the recipe.

I followed this recipe exactly until I drizzled broken up Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top. D-licious.
