This may sound pompous, but it's not. It's not the dense, decadent, New York style cheesecake that comes to mind for many of us, but rather a much lighter, airier cheesecake. Think of this cheesecake as a "whisper" compared to other cheesecakes' "shouting" presence. A whisper that's more than worthy of attention.
The basic recipe is from Rick Bayless Authentic Mexican cookbook. I've experimented with it on multiple strategically selected diverse subjects, and the response is always a resounding "Do you have another piece available?". However, there are two key deviations from Rick's recipe:
The basic recipe is from Rick Bayless Authentic Mexican cookbook. I've experimented with it on multiple strategically selected diverse subjects, and the response is always a resounding "Do you have another piece available?". However, there are two key deviations from Rick's recipe:

- I drizzle cajeta or dulche de leche over the cheelsecake. Of course this is optional, but this truly makes it a goat's milk recipe with both the chevre in the cheesecake and the goat's milk in the cajeta.

My photo doesn't do it justice because we were in such a hurry to do the taste testing. However, I guarantee you, with or without the topping, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Bon appetite! |  |
