Cheesecake
Grease a baking dish, Whisk together the cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla. Unroll the croissant dough and cut it into two layers, place one layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the creamy cheese filling over the dough, and place the remaining layer of dough on top. Mix the butter cinnamon and sugar together and dot it in small amounts on the cheesecake, bake in the oven until golden brown and the butter and sugar has formed a crunchy golden topping. Once the cheesecake is baked drizzle with honey and allow to cool in the refrigerator, then serve drizzled with warm honey.
This is the perfect dessert it is so simple to make and is absolutely delicious, it makes the ideal dessert for a Spanish or Mexican dinner party feel free to tweak the flavours in the cheese filling to add your own twist or add some fresh fruit to cut through the sweetness. You can eat it cold or eat it slightly warm with fruity ice cream. Cut into bars and served cold it would make a great addition to an afternoon tea.
We have stuck to the traditional recipe for this dessert, but what makes it the perfect sweet is how simple it is to make and it tastes so delicious no one will know how easy it is to make and from so few ingredients!
It is traditionally a Mexican dessert, it is made of leavened wheat dough with butter added. The dough is then deep-fried and lightly coated in cinnamon sugar. Our cheesecake uses the concept of the traditional recipe, for the top and bottom of the cheesecake, but the middle is filled with a delicious vanilla cheese filling.
