I've made that before and it was good. Then I cut back on the sugar and added some peach pie filling to it....Extra good and easy.

Made the Mexican Cheesecake. It is possibly the best thing I have ever had desert wise. I would recommend opening a can of cherries used for pie filling on top of it.

I would also like to see the nutritional values associated with such a fine recipe.

Thanks man.

I received this same recipe entitled Sopapilla Cheesecake. Maybe it morphed into Mexican Cheesecake because somebody couldn't say sopapilla.
Anyway, I made this on the offset at a bbq competition and got 1st place in open dessert. Incidentally, 3rd place was a sopapilla cheesecake with peaches.

my girlfriend makes this all the time, but she drizzles 1/3 cup of honey on it the second she pulls it out of the oven.

I'm thinking the cinnamon makes it Mexican. I make something similar but I don't use the cinnamon and sugar and I add egg yolks, vanilla and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. I also just call them cheesecake bars. They don't have any ethnicity that I know of. Laughing

OH and I sprinkle with powdered sugar to cover the crappy job I usually do on the top crust.

Can someone help me out? What does it mean to "cream" the other ingredients?

Creaming ingredients is normally to mash the butter, sugar and often flavors like the vanilla together in a bowl with a wooden spoon.

When you first put the sugar into the butter it is crunchy under the back of the spoon, the more you get it moving, the smoother the mix becomes, and the more it looks and feels like cream.

Keep going until it is smooth under the spoon.

More for baking techniques than other things, but it's a good one to know! Done more with room temperature butter than melted to a liquid.
