Dulce de Leche Dessert Recipes
We’re starting off with a bang with this Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with Brownie Crust. This beauty is one of my all-time favorite cheesecakes. With a brownie crust, dulce de leche cheesecake filling, and a dulce de leche whipped cream, this is one decadent dessert.
I feel like I should warn you that these Dulce de Leche Banana Bars won’t be the only recipe on this list that combines bananas and dulce de leche. It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations, and it really shines in these bars. And for bonus points, this is a one-bowl recipe!
I’ve made all sorts of brownies, from plain to over-the-top. But brownies that feature flavors outside the usual suspects are among my favorites. Dulce de Leche Cashew Brownies are a perfect example of just that. With both dulce de leche and cashews added to a simple brownie, you’ll get a special treat that’s a bit off the beaten brownie path.
This simple Dulce de Leche Icebox Pie is cool, creamy, dulce de leche deliciousness! An easy, no-bake filling is spread inside a cookie crumb crust for a perfect treat on a warm day. Although, I’d gladly take a slice any day of the year.
We’ve probably all baked and eaten our share of Magic Bars, 7-Layer Bars, Hello Dollys, or whatever you want to call them. But these Dulce de Leche Magic Bars add a big flavor twist with, of course, dulce de leche, but also with chocolate and pecans.
Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Brownies feature a layer of cheesecake mixed with dulce de leche to turn ordinary brownies into an all-out brownie experience. These are perfect for those times when a plain brownie just won’t do!
These Dulce de Leche Bars are one of the first dulce de leche desserts I remember making. They’re a simple bar with a sweet, buttery crust and a layer of dulce de leche topped with more of the crust mixture. I love how quick and easy these are!
We started this list with a traditional cheesecake, and now we’ll give a nod to the no-bake variety. Dulce de Leche No-Bake Cheesecake simplifies things with a cookie crumb crust and an easy filling. You can make this as small cheesecakes or a 9-inch cheesecake.
Dulce de Leche Banana Pudding Bars are a wonderful twist on traditional banana pudding. There are so many layers of deliciousness going on here! And it all works together so, so well.
