No Bake Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with Caramelized Peaches
This easy no bake cheesecake is flavored with Dulce de Leche and topped with caramelized peaches.
Tonight Eric was telling Charlotte her nightly Star Wars story. (Yes, really.) He said, “And then Darth Vader told Luke who his father was. And Luke said Noooooo!”
Never will you hear the phrase, “Luke I am your father” in this house. Oh no. I get in trouble whenever I mention Luke’s paternity when Charlotte is within earshot. Santa Claus? Fake. Easter Bunny? Whatevs. The identity of Luke’s father? Oh heeeeck no. Our children are definitely bound for the “popular kid” life track, I think.
So cheesecake. Are you a fan? If not, RUN. I’ve got over 60 recipes for you today, from all over the blogosphere. Roxana over at Roxana’s Home Baking thought it would be a fun idea if we all posted cheesecake on the same day. (I think it’s National Cheesecake Day or something? Whatever, I don’t know, everyday is cheesecake day in my book.)
I have to say I’m pretty freaking excited about how mine turned out. I added an entire can of Dulce de Leche to a no bake cheesecake. Then I fried peaches in butter and sugar until they got all caramel-y and put them on top.
I’m telling you guys, I have dreams about this cheesecake. I’m not even kidding. It’s probably one of my favorite cheesecakes I’ve ever had. Plus it’s perfect for summer because you only have to bake the crust, 10 minutes tops. If you make this let me know so that we can freak out about it together.
Use a measuring cup or glass to press in the crust. Spoons are for idiots. (like me, until a couple weeks ago)
Be gentle when you fold in the whipped cream. You don’t want it to get all sad and deflated.
I seriously could probably eat this entire can with a spoon. UPDATE: I learned how to make this at home using a can of sweetened condensed milk! Click here to learn How to Make Dulce de Leche!
Blanch your peaches. It’s so easy, and then you don’t have to bust out the peeler if you get a stubborn peach.
In the picture on the right, the peaches on the outside of the pan are not caramelizing very well. Only the ones in the center that are getting nice and bubbly. Either move your peaches to a drier spot on the pan or you could probably try soaking up excess liquid with a paper towel.
They will look like this when they are properly caramelized.
No Bake Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with Caramelized Peaches
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 46 vanilla wafers, about 6 ounces
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
- 2 8-oz packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 13-oz can Dulce de Leche, I used Nestle La Lechera
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 large peaches, not too overripe
- 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar, or more
Instructions
- Make the crust first. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cookies until finely ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add sugar, salt, and butter and pulse until it looks like wet sand. Scrape the sides if necessary.
- Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to firmly press crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9 (or 9-1/2) inch springform pan.
- Bake until crust is dry and set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Stick it in the freezer or the fridge to speed this up if you want.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat cream cheese on high until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the can of Dulce de Leche; beat until smooth, scraping down sides.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat cream and powdered sugar on high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, stir about one-third of the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then fold in remainder. It should be fully incorporated, but try hard not to overwork it.
- Transfer to crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly and refrigerate until firm, 3 hours (or up to 2 days).
- Peel* and slice the peaches. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, add as many peach slices (cut side down) that will fit. Work in batches if you need to--the peaches should not touch each other. Leave plenty of space or they will steam and not caramelize. Cook the peaches for about 1 minute without stirring.
- Sprinkle the peaches with 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar, enough to cover the peaches in the pan. Flip each peach so that the sugar is on the bottom. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring. Sprinkle with more brown sugar and flip to brown the other side.
- The brown sugar should bubble up around the peach. If there is too much peach liquid around the peach, then it will not caramelize or bubble. Move it to a drier spot on the pan and add more sugar.
- Remove the caramelized peaches to a wax-paper lined sheet pan. Let cool complete. I put mine in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Arrange the caramelized peaches on the cheesecake just before serving. If they don't all fit on top, serve the remainder on the side.

Im so excited to try this dish for tonights menu
Can you please explain step 5 a little more, do you just mix 1/3 of the whipping cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture? What do we do with the rest?
Thanks
Hi Shari! it says “stir about one-third of the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then fold in remainder.” So first fold in about a third until it’s incorporated. Then add all the rest and gently fold it in. We are folding in in batches so that it stays fluffy and doesn’t get over beaten! hope this helps, enjoy!
Delicious creamy cheesecake.everyone loved it.Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’m making this for our cheesecake day work competition this week. So excited! Looks delicious
Cheesecake day work competition!!! Can I come work with you guys?? Sounds like a party! How did it go?
I finally got to make this no bake cheesecake with caramelized peaches this past weekend and it was such a hit!! I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Can i post it on my blog? Thanks for sharing, Karen!
Hey Jill! I’m so glad you got to try it out! You may post the photo but not the recipe :) (Or you can, just rewrite it in your own words and include your own photos :)
Wow karen peaches and dulce de leche, that sounds like a delish combo! I think I might try this recipe for Easter!
It’s so good Jay! Let me know how it goes! It would be perfect for Easter.
Those peaches!! I need to give this a try.
It’s so good Britt! Let me know if you try it out!
My soul is drooling, looking at these pictures…. Can’t wait to make this – thanks for the recipe!
I absolutely LOVE dulce de leche and need to use it more often in my desserts. This no bake cheesecake is so pretty.
WOW!! Those peaches are absolutely beautiful. I love the creativity going on here. GORGEOUS dessert, and I’m definitely pinning to try it out myself!
Karen ,you had me at caramelized! I just finished making caramelized pineapple with rum this weekend. Now this.. The pictures really draw you in.
I finally had time to look at your cheesecake! It looks amazing, even to a non peach lover. Well I like fruit as long as you do absolutely nothing to it, I know weird! But this is to pretty and looks too good not to make. So Im thinking the next time I go to a friends I make this and make one little piece with a chocolate ganache drizzle for myself. haha Problem solved.
Chocolate ganache would be pretty fantastic on this too, I need to try that!
Drool worthy photos! My goodness. I want to eat this entire cheesecake!
OH MY! It took me a few days to have time to look at this recipe and I wish I had seen it before now–it would have allowed for more days to love this recipe! I WILL be making this recipe this week!! Screw the diet–AGAIN!
Thanks Debbie! Can you believe I just made this again yesterday? I’m a little ridiculous I think. Let me know how it turns out!! So glad we got to meet at BlogHer!
Love that this is no bake!! Love the caramelized peaches!! Love everything about this!!!
Such a gorgeous cheesecake and the caramelized peaches makes it extra special! Gorgeous!
Oh my wow!!! This cheesecake is gorgeous Karen!! Love love love that you added an entire can of dulce de leche to this no bake deliciousness! And the caramelized peaches look mouthwatering! Pinning!
Hi Karen, love this cheesecake, even better it’s a no bake!
oh my gawd, the caramelized peaches?!!!! LOVE love love this cheesecake!
This cheesecake kinda makes me want to weep. And, I mean that in a very, very good way.
Haha Jennifer!! You make me laugh :)
Such a beautiful cheesecake! I bet the peaches and dulce de leche pair so well together.
never thought of doing a dulce de leche cheesecake before.. definitely missing out on something delicious. i wish you could cut me a slice right now!
FINAAALLLLyyyy making it on over to your blog! :) Just had to see the cheesecake in a larger resolution beyond a square on Insta!
Look, no one wants diabetes because it’s awful, but I want this all up on my tastebuds!! Cheesecake one day, veggie diet the next day with some exercise = no diabetes guilt right?! Ugh this looks wonderful & I’m going to have to try it so that we can freak out about it together. This recipe is genius & the pics are gorgeous. Can almost taste it; trying not to lick my screen.
Also, I love that your husband is reading Star Wars to your kids. Up next: HARRY POTTER. Well, honestly when I have kids, that’s what I’m reading to them. Star War is so cool now, so you really ARE training your kids to be part of that cool crowd. Plus, they have a mom that has awesome food so they’d probably beg your kids for slumber parties for the Star Wars & the cheesecake. Reading to your kids is really essential in helping them with language acquisition & brain development, so whether you’re reading them an article from TIME or Star Wars or the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar, it’s so good for them. Truly raising your kids right with the tomatoes & the Star Wars & the cheesecake!
This looks luscious and I’m nuts about peaches.
Guess where I’m going after work? The supermarket!
Ok this cheesecake is the cutest I’ve ever seen and the flavor combo looks mind-blowing as well. I love dulce de leche mmmmm AND PEACHES! I seriously need a slice (or seven) right now! xx
Would it be rude if I totally face-planted right into those caramelized peaches?! They look so incredible it’s really hard not to lick my screen…
Whoa, now this is what I call a showstopper! From the caramelly base to the gorgeous peach topping, it is a winner ALL the way!
well cheesecake of course is delicious, but those peaches…OMG I’m dying over here
Um, wow. I don’t know if it gets better than this! Peaches and caramel are an unreal combination!
Oh my word how pretty! And peaches? I love it!!
Girl, I heart dulce de leche so much!! This cheesecake looks absolutely amazing! Pinned!
“I added an entire can of Dulce de Leche to a no bake cheesecake. Then I fried peaches in butter and sugar until they got all caramel-y and put them on top.” <– Karen, I like the cut of your jib. Lady, this looks incredible. I love dulce de leche, I love buttery, sugary peaches, and every day SHOULD be cheesecake day! I need this in my life asap.
Those peaches are to die for! Not sure they would ever make it to the top of the cheesecake at my house!
I’m lovin cheesecake day! I love this combination of dulce de leche and peaches.
I haven’t even made this yet and I’d like to freak out about it together! YUUUUUUUUM.
I’m going to have to make this. It just looks way to good to resist!
Beautiful! I love the flavor combo!
Karen this looks awesome! I just want to grab it through the screen :)
Wow, this cheesecake sounds great! I love your Star Wars story, I had to become a major Star Wars geek for a couple of years when my boys were super into it, my husband is a pretty big fan. Once he and I took a trip out of town together, so we could go see “Star Wars in concert” which is basically an orchestra playing various bits of the soundtracks. I tried really hard to get a photo with Boba Fett, but alas, my fangirl never got to realize that dream. ; )
Oh. my. gosh. An orchestra playing Star Wars? My husband, as a former band geek, would probably die of happiness.
The caramelized peaches are calling my name and don’t even get me started on this cheesecake. I am dying over here – it looks seriously delish, Karen.
Karen! I can’t get over how beautiful this cheesecake is! And thank you thank you for making this no bake. It is so dang hot at my house I can’t stand the idea of turning on my oven for longer than a few minutes. And you’re so right, every day is cheesecake day for me too : )
I don’t know what I love most about this cheesecake. The dulce de leche or the caramelized peaches! I think I should eat all the cheesecake all by myself until I decide which part is the best!
Thanks for joining us, Karen!
Dulche de Leche AAAAND carmelized peaches!! Yesssssss. I will be making this and I will tell you so we can freak out about it together.
Absolutely beautiful dessert!
Cheesecake…beverages?? Woah. I mean I know this is ‘Murica, but that’s crazy. Please sign me up. Especially for the carmelized peaches.
I’m not usually known for stealing, but I’m about to haul away with this cake. Seriously, look at those peaches. Pinned.
The peaches on your cheesecake…. OH MY!!! I think I could just eat them all off the top of the cheesecake!! SO GOOD!
