Person talking
This is a real special treat. Please use real maple syrup, the better the quality of the syrup, the better the cake will be. This lovely cake is definitely worth the extra effort. It needs to sit in the fridge overnight to chill properly. A real Canadian treasure, it promises not to disappoint.

This is SO good. I received a little jug of real Vermont maple syrup for Christmas and I've been trying it in different recipes. It made a perfect cheesecake with this recipe. My DS loved the crust (the cookies really made it moist), and I liked the balance of cream cheese and syrup. Not too much syrup to overpower the cheesecake flavor, but enough that you could really taste it. I have a note to make this for one of our Thanksgiving desserts -- with all the seasonal fall squashes and other dishes we have then, I think it will go perfectly!Reply
