Instructions
Let's begin!

- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then beat in milk, flour, vanilla, and dulce de leche. Add eggs, then beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.
- Place the springform pan in a large baking pan, then add 1 in. of hot water to the larger pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is just set and the top appears dull.
- Remove the springform pan from the water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen, then cool for 1 hour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, then stir until smooth. Spread over cheesecake. Refrigerate overnight. Remove the sides of the pan.
- Garnish with piped dulce de leche on the borders of the cheesecake.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
