Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with a Fig PreservesTopping
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. There is something about a thick dense piece of New York style cheesecake that makes me dance with delight.
A few months ago I made a Key Lime Cheesecake

Key Lime Cheesecake
It was delicious but while I was making it I thought to myself I have got to make this cheesecake recipe with vanilla beans as the flavoring. It’s funny how recipe inspiration can hit you while you are making one recipe and you end up with two great recipes to add to your collection.

This cheesecake is so rich you don’t need any topping but I decided to top a slice with some homemade Fig Preserves I made over the summer. Yummy!

Wow! I’ve always know that Corelle is durable; but the Cherish pattern is really attractive, as well. From the pattern names mentioned in posts above, it seems like new Corelle patterns would be worth checking out – especially with two semi-destructive teenage boys in the house.
