OK, these were so incredibly delicious!! And I am not a coffee lover by any means. My dad, who is a coffee lover, was completely in love with them and ate most of them. Glad I pawned them off to his fridge and out of mine! The only thing I changed was the size of the pan. I only had an 8×8 so it baked a smidge longer.
So, I realize I am late yet again with my post. I work on the computer ALL DAY so I really hate getting on here when I’m not working so its sometimes hard for me to post on Tuesdays. I will get better at this!! I promise!! You may also notice I missed the Lime Cream Pie. Well, I didn’t really. I almost didn’t make it because I am not a pie eater but at the last moment decided to just make the cream and see how it tasted. It was GREAT! so great in fact, that I ate it all without taking any pics. So, yeah. Kinda failed that one. But I will make the full pie one day for a bake sale or something and then redeem my blog with pics of that one.

So I LOVE caramel. Like more than chocolate!! I ordered the Dulce de Leche cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory (see obsession with their pumpernickel bread as well…) and it was amazing. Maybe the best thing I ever put in my mouth. Not even joking here. I was so stuffed from my dinner (even tho I really really tried to save room!) but I still managed to finish it all. It was painful at some points and there may have been moments where I thought I was going to die, but I am a champ and came through. I talked a big talk before we ordered about how great of an eater I am and how I can pack it away. Guess its been a while since I ate so big!
I knew going into this that the cheesecake would not be the same. CF has a whipped version with some sort of caramel mousse or something on top. But I would settle for something even half as good because it would still be amazing! And this one lived up to the hype! Its awesome (even if the pic is less than stellar…)
My mom stopped over while I was mixing up the batter. She was like, what are you making now?!? haha. Guess I bake a lot? She actually came to pick up her and my dad’s samples of all the ice cream I’ve been whipping up so they obviously appreciate my loving, sharing attitude towards my creations. (shhh, don’t tell her, but I only share so I won’t weigh 400 lbs!)
This was my first attempt at making dulce de leche and it was very easy. But time consuming. So plan ahead cuz it takes an hour and half plus the time it takes to bake and cool a cheesecake. Its an all day deal, folks!
