New York Style Goat Cheesecake with Raspberry Jam
New York-Style cheesecake traditionally relies on a combination of cream cheese and sour cream to produce its dense texture and rich, slightly tangy flavor. For the Murray’s take on this classic American dessert, there is, unsurprisingly, some cheese changes. We replace half of the cream cheese with Westfield Farm’s Capri, a bright, citrusy, fresh goat cheese made nearby in Massachusetts. We combine it with cream cheese and crème fraîche, and put it into a rich crust made of Effie’s Oatcakes crumbs, all topped off with some fruity raspberry jam to cut through all the creamy goodness. Note that for easiest mixing, have all ingredients at room temperature.
