Danish Cheesecake(Sopapilla Cheesecake)
On a cold and snowy night right before Christmas, we had a church wide Christmas Caroling Party! We met at church, loading up long trailers covered with snow bales (and a fair bit of ice underneath), pulled by tractors. The church van was piled full of people and we headed out for a wonderful evening, singing Christmas carols to various shut-ins from our church.
We came back to the fellowship hall for dessert and hot chocolate. The incomparable Wayne Droke, cook extraordinaire, who runs the food ministry at our church, had posted that he was making Sopapilla Cheesecake bars....and I about went NUTS all day long with anticipation! In the mountains of Tennessee, this California girl doesn't see a lot of Mexican desserts!
When we got back to the CLC, these yummy cheesecakey bars were everything I had hoped they would be! Won't tell you how many we ate...or how many Wayne so generously let us bring home!!! But I will admit to scarfing them down before we took a picture of them!
