This Eggless Dulce de Leche Cheesecake is easy to make! It’s sweet, smooth, and creamy. You can never tell that it’s eggless. Perfect for the holidays!
Happy Monday, my friends!! Are you ready for Christmas?… Somehow ready? Or not ready at all? I’m 75% ready. I just need to buy a few more presents but anything regarding food, the most important for me, is covert. Since my husband is Portuguese and I’m Venezuelan, our Christmas and any major celebration have always looked very bicultural. Plenty of food is the common denominator of both cultures.
I love to cook all kinds of dishes, you know that, but I cannot hide my passion for baking. I really enjoy it and since my daughter was diagnosed with egg allergy I enjoy it even more. As I mentioned before, sometimes it can be a little challenging but when I see the final result, after several tests, It’s SO SO rewarding.
Meet my beautiful and mouthwatering Eggless Dulce de Leche Cheesecake!!
I was very excited when my friends at Post invited me to try their Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. As soon as I read the recipe title I knew it was something that I definitely wanted to try so I tweaked the original recipe and made it my own. If you’re looking more Post recipes make sure to check out these Mexican Hot Chocolate Cocoa Pebbles Crunch Cookies.
To give to this beauty a little crunchy touch I topped it with caramelized Honey Bunches of Oats with Almond. The same crispy flakes and tasty, crunchy granola oat bunches as the original Honey Bunches of Oats with the added nutty deliciousness of sliced almonds. MMMM… delicious!!!
Did You Know that Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds has: Four nutritious grains: rice, wheat, oats and corn, 0g trans fat, 0g saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol per serving, and 10g of whole grain per serving.
This is a very impressive dessert, in my humble opinion. And it’s perfect for this holiday season.
You won’t believe how easy it is to make. It’s creamy, smooth, sweet, and a little tangy. Just Perfection. I’m kinda proud of myself for being able to create this masterpiece.
Happy Cooking, and baking!!!
