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."

It was very easy to assemble, and smelled terrific baking. However, the taste didn't wow me. I will stick with the traditional; or for an easy one use the vanilla wafer in a paper lined cupcake pan; topped with cheese mixture. -
Wow! This was amazing! I am kinda known for my desserts in the family but I was told by two different people after this week's family dinner that this was their new favorite. I did make a caramel sauce and drizzled it over the top before serving today. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It was a bit too much sugar for me so I might cut back on the cinnamon-sugar next time but everyone else thought it was great. <br/><br/>Thank you, Jessica, for a wonderful addition to my dessert recipe collection! -

Very easy and delicious. The only thing I changed was I used margarine instead of butter. I baked it for 33 mins and it was perfect. I used a metal 9x13 pan because I was using my glass pan for something else at the same time. It didn't seem to make a difference at all. Another thing I liked about this recipe is that it was very easy to serve because it didn't stick to the pan at all.
