MEXICAN CHEESECAKE
I got this recipe from a lady I work with. We were having a Mexican potluck at work. When she told us she was bring Mexican cheesecake, we all kinda looked at her funny. After we got done eating the cheesecake, we asked for for the directions on how to make it. I took it home and made it that night for a family get together we have every weekend. It was very easy to make. It sat in my house overnight before I took it out to my grandma's house. Not sure how I kept my boyfriend out of it. It smelled so good. It went so fast. My mom and grandma told me from now on this is what I'm to bring every weekend. I hope y'all enjoy the recipe.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cream cheese and milk. Full-fat cream cheese will give the cheesecake a richer flavor and texture, and whole milk will help to keep it moist.
- Be sure to let the cream cheese come to room temperature before using it. This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and dry.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help it to cook evenly.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and will also make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Mexican cheesecake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and graham cracker crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Mexican cheesecake a try!
