this recipe was extemely easy to make. It only took me about 10 minutes to mix everything up and then i put it in the oven to cook. I made this cheescake for spanish food day at my school and everyone liked it! It was gone in just about 5 minutes..

'Twas very easy to make and pretty tasty! I made mine for cinco de mayo as well; it recieves points of for its asthetic value, which caused most people to pass it up. Add some berries and whipped cream!
