Dulce de Leche Cheesecake SquaresMikkel Vang

Wheatmeal crackers (sometimes called digestive biscuits) have a flavor similar to graham crackers. For this particular recipe, we prefer Carr's brand wheatmeal crackers, which are available at supermarkets and labeled as "whole wheat crackers." (Don't use Carr's Wheatolos, which are a bit too sweet.)

Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 9 3/4 hr (includes chilling)

Cooks' note:

Cheesecake (without glaze) can be chilled up to 3 days.
