Directions
Mascarpone Cheesecake with Balsamic Strawberries, This is the best cheesecake I have ever made or eaten! I think the mascarpone is key and the balsamic strawberries is a must It elevates this cheesecake to a different level Recipe is from Wente Vineyards Restaurant in Livermore, California , What can I say? I am a Home Economics Teacher (Food & Technology) and found this cheesecake recipe on this website some time ago A few modifications e g use of Splenda instead of sugar and I have made it a standard that I make when I have to bring a dessert The balsamic strawberries on the side are truly magnificent and make this recipe unique
