[email protected]This cheesecake is not worth the effort. It's too spicy and the cream cheese is too dense.

[email protected]I love the idea of this cheesecake, but I think the recipe needs a few adjustments. I would use less jalapeños and more cream cheese. I would also bake it for a shorter amount of time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of jalapeños, but this cheesecake was surprisingly good. The jalapeños added just a hint of spice that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cheesecake.
