Dessert
Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with a Maria Cookie Crust.
This cheesecake combines a crisp Maria cookie crust with a creamy, dulce de leche-swirled filling. It's a rich, sweet dessert that requires a bit of patience, mostly for the chilling time, but the hands-on work is straightforward. The base bakes up firm and fragrant, ready for a filling that comes together quickly in an electric mixer. Once baked and cooled, a final drizzle of dulce de leche finishes it off.

Grind Cookies
Get your Maria cookies into a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, or until they're finely ground into crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can crush them by hand: pop them into a zip-top bag and use the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound them until they're finely crushed.
Once you have your crumbs, transfer them to a bowl.
