DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE



Dulce De Leche Cheesecake image

Recieved this from Taste of Home, and love but caramel and cheesecakes, so this is a natural to save. 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.
