Difficulty
Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup chopped roasted pecans
2/3 cup melted butter

Filling:
1-1/2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 pound goat cheese, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping:
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup goat cheese, at room temperature
3 Tablespoons honey
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Methods/steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs, pecans and butter. Press into a 10-inch springform pan.
In a food processor, combine the cheeses, sugar and sour cream, and blend until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cream and add to the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the vanilla.

Pour the filling into the springform pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake has set. Run knife around edge of pan after removing cake from oven to prevent top from cracking.

After cake has cooled completely, combine topping ingredients and spread evenly over top of cake.

Additional Tips

Tracy’s Wine Recommendation: The goat cheese is barely detectable in this absolutely awesome cheesecake, so we tried a fruit beer just to experiment a little. I think I accidentally discovered a new favorite! Try: Lindemans Lambics Peche (Peach) $5.69/bottle.
