Dulce De Leche Buttermilk Cheesecake– Creamy cheesecake with the added bonus of buttermilk and dreamy dulce de leche sauce.
If you haven’t had the delight of making a classic homemade cheesecake…you are missing out!
They do require a little extra work, a few extra baking supplies and you do have to wait about 2-3 hours to set.
But….it’s worth it.
Plus, this classic cheesecake has the added deliciousness of dulce de leche and buttermilk. It’s ah-mazing!!
The Full Ingredients List:
- Butter + Graham cracker crumbs ( for crust)
- Cream cheese
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Buttermilk
- Dulce de leche
How to Make & Bake Your Cheesecake:
- First, the crust: Mix the ingredients and press into the bottom of your springform pan. Then, wrap the pan with a double layer of foil. (see above photo)
- Next, the filling: Be sure your cream cheese is good & soft. Plus, don’t over mix your batter. When done, pour the filling into the crust.
- How to Prepare to Bake: Place your pan in a large pan or dish. I used my big roasting pan. Fill the large pan with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the springform pan. This hot water bath will help keep the cheesecake moist and prevent cracking.
- Once your cheesecake is baked: Remove and let it cool for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
A few recipe notes:
- Don’t have a springform pan? Check out this link for some alternatives.
- If your cheesecake is a bit cracked when it’s done, that’s OK. Take a butter knife and wet it lightly. Then, carefully smooth the edges with it.
- For a clean cut: Take a sharp knife and wet it lightly. Then, cut a slice of your cheesecake….no mess!
- Frosting the edges is optional. You can also garnish with pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts or just add a drizzle of dulce de leche.
- No buttermilk? Simply add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1/4 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding it to batter.
Enjoy-

Thanks Michelle!
Yum! We make cheesecake all the time but I have never tried it with buttermilk. I am pinning this recipe to try later. Thanks for sharing with the Inspire Me Monday link party.
Thanks for the pin Erica! Enjoy the cheesecake 🙂
OMG!
I’ve now made this for the second time during this quarantine.
Puts a smile on my face so delicious.
Thank you for this recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it Tina! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
There is something seriously wrong with this recipe. Mine has been cooking for an hour, and it’s still totally liquid. Something is missing. I used boiling water for the water bath, so that’s not the problem.
Hi Pam- -I can’t say for sure what is going on with your cheesecake. It may not be the recipe at all, but, could be your stove, the weather or unfortunately, user error. I hope it turned out in the end!
Does (3- 8 oz cream cheese, softened) mean three 8oz bricks of cream cheese? Or do I just need 8oz?
Hi Mae- -You will need 3- 8 oz blocks/bricks of cream cheese.
