SALSA CHEESECAKE image

I have served this to multiple groups at parties, holiday time and always get asked for the recipe! Festive appetizer to serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or to eat with a fork. Add a side of medium or hot salsa to spice it up for those who like spicy. This is mild if you use mild salsa.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the salsa topping was delicious. I would recommend using a less sweet cheesecake recipe.
