New York Cheesecake

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed biscuits and melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are coated and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or mold to form the base.
  3. Bake the base for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition.
  6. Gently fold in the dulce de leche until evenly incorporated.
  7. Pour the filling over the baked biscuit base, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for a couple of hours before removing it from the pan.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, then garnish as desired (fresh fruit, caramel drizzle, or a dusting of powdered sugar).
