Sopapilla Cheesecake captured my attention years ago because Cheesecake is always a favorite dessert, but time consuming. The prep is not a lot of steps and best of all fail proof. It’s a comfort dessert for family, a great crowd pleaser at gatherings, or Family Reunions. I always get ask for the recipe, so what more reason than to share with Cotton Patch Community Cookbook. Try it and see how delicious this simpler version satisfies your taste buds for a much quicker dessert.
