- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Base
- Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper

- Refrigerate base while you work on the filling.
Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the vanilla, heavy cream, and dulce de leche.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the base.
Topping
- To make the swirl topping, use milk to thin out dulce de leche so that it is thin enough to swirl.
- Add even dots of dulche de leche in a grid-like fashion on top of the cheesecake.
- Using a toothpick or a butter knife, swirl the dots together.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for4 to 6 hours. For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. This will set the cake completely.
