Here’s a lovely, unexpected twist on cheesecake!
Jalapeño, yes you heard that right! This recipe has just a taste of jalapeño bite, subtly distinguished with this unique flavor enhancement without being overly striking, especially with the raspberries overtop to balance it all out.
It’s a decadent cheesecake and a fun recipe to surprise your guests who will first question, then fall in love with one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheesecake.
With spring and summer on it’s way, it’s a dazzling way to bring a bit of mystery, cheer, and warmth to your dessert menu item or party! Let them guess, see what they say!
