Dulce de Leche Cheesecake image

I'm originally from Paraguay, and dulce de leche reminds me of where I came from. If you can't find it at your grocery store, try caramel ice cream topping instead. It tastes different, but this decadent dessert will still be amazing. -Sonia Lipham, Ranburne, Alabama
