Cheesecake Factory Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake: Price & Calories (2026)
Cheesecake Factory Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake stacks caramel mousse and almond brickle on a caramel cheesecake with a vanilla crust, and a slice carries 1,390 calories at $10.95 to $12.50. A dozen official pickup menus set the price, and the brand's Summer 2026 nutrition guide sets the calories.
Caramel mousse, almond brickle, vanilla crust: what the slice is
The official menu sums it up in one line: "Caramel Cheesecake Topped with Caramel Mousse and Almond Brickle on a Vanilla Crust." So there are two layers of caramel here, the cheesecake itself and the mousse on top, and then the almond brickle gives you the crunch. The crust is the part people miss: it is vanilla, not graham and not brownie, which is exactly how you tell this slice apart from the other caramel slices in the case. If you want caramel and crunch in the same bite, this is the one built for it. If you want caramel without the crunch, Salted Caramel is the smoother one, and the Original is the plain slice underneath all of it.
What a Dulce slice costs at 12 stores
Across a dozen pickup menus the slice runs $10.95 to $12.50, and the $12.50 median is where most of the country lands. The twelve split three ways: seven at the $12.50 top end, two at $11.95 in Miami and Phoenix, and three at the $10.95 low end in Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas City. The cheesecake section on the menu prints a range for the whole section, never a price for this slice, which is why the pickup menus are the source here. Before you order, check the promo codes that cut a slice's price, since a live deal is the one thing that can move the number.

990 of its 1,390 calories come from fat: the number that matters
A slice carries 110g of fat, and 990 of its 1,390 calories come from fat, which is 71 percent, the highest fat share of any slice this site has covered. The saturated fat is 61g, the second-highest in the case behind only the Ultimate Red Velvet at 62g, and the cholesterol is 385mg, the second-highest behind only Key Lime at 470mg. The total fat is second-highest too, behind only the Red Velvet at 116g. Here is the twist: the sugar is only 83g, right in the middle of the case, so this slice is not the sweetest one, it is the fattiest one. The caramel name makes people expect sugar, but the numbers say fat, from the cream cheese and the mousse and the brickle all stacking up. If you track fat more than sugar, this is the slice to watch.
Is this the fattiest slice, or just the sweetest?
A slice has 1,390 calories, which puts it on the heavy side of the case without topping it: the ladder of slices covered so far runs Original 830, Tiramisu 980, Fresh Strawberry 1,000, Key Lime 1,160, Adam's 1,250, this slice at 1,390, then Oreo and Reese's at 1,510, and the Ultimate Red Velvet at 1,580. The carbohydrates are 107g with 2g of fiber and 83g of sugar, the sodium is 600mg, the trans fat is 3g, and the protein is 14g. The full row sits with the dulce de leche nutrition numbers, laid out the same way as every other slice.

A La Mode and Hot Fudge: what the toppings add to this slice
Both toppings cost $2.50 extra, and both push this slice past the heaviest plain slice in the case. A La Mode adds 400 calories, taking it to 1,790 calories, and it adds 34g of sugar on top of the slice's own 83g, landing at 117g. Hot Fudge adds 280 calories, taking it to 1,670 calories, and it adds 19g of sugar, landing at 102g. The plain Ultimate Red Velvet is the heaviest plain slice at 1,580 calories, so either topping makes this slice heavier than that. The brickle is the crunch you paid for, and a scoop of ice cream buries it, so if you order this slice for the texture, order it plain.
Dulce de Leche or Salted Caramel: the caramel mix-up
Three things about this slice are easy to get wrong, so here they are plainly. First, Salted Caramel is a different slice, not another name for this one: it is caramel cheesecake with creamy caramel mousse on a blonde brownie, topped with salted caramel, at 1,240 calories and 107g of sugar, against this slice's 1,390 calories and 83g of sugar on a vanilla crust with almond brickle. So the salted one is 150 calories lighter but 24g sweeter, and the gap is fat, 73g against this slice's 110g. Second, Caramel Pecan Turtle is different again, a pecan brownie and caramel-fudge swirl cheesecake topped with caramel turtle pecans and chocolate, at 1,300 calories and 102g of sugar. Third, this slice carries no gluten-free marker on the official menu, so do not order it as a gluten-free dish, and there is no lunch version and no Happy Hour price for it: cheesecake slices do not appear on either menu, so the slice price is the only price. A 10-inch whole Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake and a 7-inch whole both exist for taking home, but the whole-cake prices were not verified for this page, so they are not listed here.

Caramel first, calories second: the last word
Fat does the talking here, not sugar: 1,390 calories at $10.95 to $12.50, the richest caramel slice in the case, with almond brickle giving you the crunch Salted Caramel does not have. Salted Caramel carries 24 grams more sugar for 150 fewer calories, so the sweetest slice is not this one, and the Original is 560 calories lighter when light is the point. Order this one for the caramel and the crunch, not for the sugar.
