Cuban Dulce De Leche Cheesecake is a delicious and unique dessert that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet and caramel-like flavor of dulce de leche. It's a popular dessert in many Latin American countries, including Cuba. This cheesecake is perfect for special occasions and gatherings, and is sure to impress your guests. It's also a great make-ahead dessert, as it can be refrigerated for several hours, or even overnight, before serving. If you're looking for a dessert that's a little different from the usual cheesecake, Cuban Dulce De Leche Cheesecake is definitely worth a try.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and set aside.
2.	Crush the maria cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add in melted butter and mix until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3.	In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add in the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
4.	Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top. Drop spoonfuls of dulce de leche all over the cheesecake and use a knife to swirl it around.
5.	Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly jiggly.
6.	Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream and extra dulce de leche if desired.
