Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8 x8 inch pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter; stir until moistened. Pour into the foil lined pan; press into a firm, even layer.
Bake about 12 minutes.
While crust bakes, prepare filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese and sugar for about 2 minutes or until fluffy and light. Add in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add in the vanilla, sour cream, and 2 tablespoons dulce de leche sauce.
Pour the filling over the crust; return to the oven; bake 35-40 minutes or until the center appears just about set and isn't jiggly.
Tent with foil if the top begins to brown too fast.
Cool completely; spread with the remaining dulce de leche sauce in an even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
