How to Make Mascarpone Cheesecake W Candied Pecans And Dulce De Leche Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  4. Beat the cream cheese and mascarpone until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in the candied pecans.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  8. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Refrigerate overnight.
  13. Before serving, top with the dulce de leche sauce.
