Bold Baking Tips

If you don’t have a food processor at home, just place the crackers and pretzels in a sealed plastic bag and smash it with the bottom of a pot until it’s as close to a fine powder as possible. Additionally, you can use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese with the dulce de leche and heavy cream.

Now for the sneaky center…the Almond Brittle. You can make it a day ahead if you are strapped for time. Additionally, you can use sliced almonds for a refined look or if whole almonds are easier to find, chop them slightly for something more rustic. The browned butter in this recipe lends to a lovely, nutty aroma that is sure to peak the interest of anyone around while you are baking. Once the brittle has hardened, you can break it up into smaller bits and then it’s ready to go in your cheesecake.

Spread a layer of brittle over the cream cheese mixture that you’ve already put into your cake tin. Make sure to reserve some brittle to decorate with on top. This middle layer will look so beautiful once you cut a slice of your cheesecake.

My Cheesecakes are No Bake so I find it’s best to make this cake a day ahead so that it can stand in the refrigerator for a full 24 hours before cutting into it. This will help the slices stand firmly and look beautiful on the plate. Decorating this cheesecake is so easy, just use some of your reserved brittle and sprinkle over the top. If you want a little more pizazz, drizzle some of your dulce de leche on the cheesecake, and add dollops of whipped cream.

I think you’ll find that the combination of cream cheese and dulce de leche is pure magic, a flavor that is sure to win over the tastebuds of the whole family.
