Tip: Don't overbake the crust.

In a blender or food processor, blend the dulce de leche and heavy cream until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and cream cheese until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the sugar to the egg mixture, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
